Remove "Login/SignUp" Popup window from dropbox transfer link

Hello, 

I just now noticed that as a paid user, everytime we send a client of ours a dropbox transfer link with our own branding, it upsells our own clients! With some pop up box about some log in into dropbox. I now that it has a "download only" on the bottom but this is not reseonable.

 

We are users that pay dropbox for a service, dont upsell our own clients.

 

I kindly ask the removal of this feature asap.

      Hi Walter, is there any update on when this pop up box will be removed? I have had multiple long time clients ask me why they now have to sign in to download their files. To which I have had to reply with a guide with screenshots on how to download the file.

    I agree with COLI.

    This is advertisment made on my friends/clients.

    This, as a paying customer, is unacceptable.

    This needs to be removed.

    Thank you

      This is my greatest complain about Dropbox and the reason I do not recommend it as a cloud service to friends.

      Also this might finally be the reason I will. Switch to another cloud provider.
