why don't backups work anymore?

Question

ever since they added that Dropbox garbage

markvs · Answer

Today, When I try to do a backup I no longer have an option to save my backup to a destination of my choice, e.g. USB, cloud, or a hard drive. The only option given is to open a DropBox account and save my backups on DropBox.
 In the past, I could save my backups to different storage locations.

After I spent too much time trying to fix this, I found out that my Preferences for storage locations had been mysteriously changed (not by me). Once I changed my Preferences back to what they were I was once again able to choose a location to save to and am no longer forced into using the recommend DropBox.

I suspect (I have no proof) that a Quicken update may have changed my previous storage preferences. My storage location issue started when my default backup location was changed to a suggestion to use DropBox.
