Thank you so much!! This terminal command
cd ~/Library/LaunchAgents rm com.dropbox.DropboxMacUpdate.agent.plist

Hi WonderingAboutThat, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
If you're looking to completely remove the Dropbox desktop application, try following the steps in the advanced reinstallation article.
Up until step 4 should be the last step you need to uninstall the app entirely, anything after that is to reinstall the app.
Keep me updated with any progress!

Thank you for your response.
Unfortunately this did not work.
After this command:
sudo mv ~/.dropbox ~/.Trash/dropbox.old
I received an error saying "No such file or directory."
I continue to receive this message each time I boot up the computer, even though I have it disabled in the "Allow in the background."
Additionally under the "Notifications" section of the system systems, Dropbox is not listed under "Application Notifications."
How is it possible that I am still receiving these notifications?
Does dropbox have any type of phone based customer support? I haven't been able to find a contact number.
I contacted apple support and they were not able to help me with this.
I would appreciate any further assistance you can offer.

That would be fantastic! I would really appreciate the help. Is there a way I can send it to you privately without posting it publicly here?
