Dropbox How can I completely disable Smart Sync?
If you use Dropbox Plus, Professional, or you’re a member of a Dropbox Business team, you can opt out of the system extension at any time. However, note that opting out of the system extension will disable Smart Sync. You must have the system extension enabled to use Smart Sync.
To disable the system extension:
- Sign in to dropbox.com.
- Click your avatar at the top of any page.
- Click Settings and, if needed, click General.
- Scroll to Dropbox system extension.
- Toggle this setting to off.
If you’re a member of a Dropbox Business team, and your admin disables the system extension, you won’t be able to use Smart Sync. This is true on any device where you’ve signed in to your Business account (even a personal device), and may also affect a personal Dropbox account.
