Dropbox as output folder problem

Hi,

I'm having this issue with Capture One that I once set my Dropbox folder as my output folder as I wanted to make JPEGS to come directly to my dropbox and my phone. But for some reason it also got added secretly to my favorites. Even though I choose another folder as my output folder. Every time I open this session the dropbox folder is in my favorites and is showing up in my smart album "all images". I don't want that. To remove it I have to set my dropbox folder to output folder and remove it.

Does this make any sense? If not, what can I clarify?

I'm really confounded with this issue.

PS. it's only this one session that I use regularly.

  I think that making the Dropbox folder your output folder is not the way to go. Here's what I would suggest.
  
  (1) Reset the regular standard Output folder of the session as the output folder.
  
  (2) If you want to sometimes output images to your dropbox folder...
  
  (a) Create a new process recipe called Dropbox (or whatever suits you) and set the image parameters to what you want (JPG, JPG quality setting, size, etc)
  
  (b) change the output destination for just that recipe. To do that you go to the Process Recipe tool. (Not the Process Recipes (plural) tool.) Click the File tab in that tool. Change the Root Folder filed from Output Location (which means your regular output folder) to Select Folder... and choose your Dropbox folder. That enables you to output images to the Dropbox folder when using this recipe, but to the regular Output folder when using other recipes.
