How to Stop a Folder from Syncing to the Cloud

Prevent selected content from continuously synchronizing when the cloud app supports folder selection.

Quick Answer

Open the cloud application's sync settings and deselect or stop backup for the folder after confirming where the files will remain.

Step by Step

  1. Sign in through the service's official website or app rather than a link in an unexpected message.
  2. Open the cloud application's sync settings and deselect or stop backup for the folder after confirming where the files will remain.
  3. Read any effective date, renewal date, refund rule, or data-deletion warning before confirming.
  4. Save a confirmation email, receipt, or screenshot for important cancellations or account changes.

If That Doesn't Work

  • A subscription may be billed by Apple, Google, PayPal, a card processor, or the service itself, so the place you use the product may not be the place that controls billing.
  • Do not dispute a legitimate charge as fraud until you have checked whether it belongs to another account, family member, free-trial conversion, or recognizable merchant billing name.
