How do I stop the desktop app?
I want to close Dropbox. Just stopping the sync does not solve my problem. And I don't want to uninstall it. Do I have to close it via End Task in Task Manager?
Hi Eddy,
You could try to disable Dropbox when Windows starts.
You can do it:
- In preferences of the program in the icon which is near to the clock
- Disabling the start in the Windows start options:
- From the Task Manager in Windows 10
- From Windows+R (Run) / msconfig
Regards
The gear box doesn’t show up when I click on the icon. Any other way to stop it ?
