On SU-managed Mac computers, OneDrive will now backup/sync the Desktop and Documents folders by default. Since Dropbox and Google Drive also have this feature, it is important to disable it in these apps to avoid conflicts. Note that backup is an extra feature and is not related to the normal use of your Dropbox or Google Drive folders on your Mac.

Here is how to disable this feature or make sure it is turned off.

Dropbox

 Click here to expand...
  • Click the Dropbox icon on the Mac menu bar, then click Preferences.
  • Click the Backups tab, then Manage Backups.
  • Click the Change folders button.
  • Uncheck both Desktop and Documents.
  • If asked, choose to keep the files on your Mac. It may take some time to download these files.

Google Drive

  • Click the small Google Drive icon on the Mac's menu bar.
