Hi ahikouka, thanks for posting on the Community!

 

Are you using the new Dropbox desktop application, or the interface that appears when you click the Dropbox icon in the system tray/menu bar?

 

You don’t need to click on the avatar. When the app is open, you can hover over the message in the bottom left to pause the syncing for the Dropbox desktop application.

 

Hope this helps!
