You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Disable automatic updates
How can I prevent dropbox from automatically updating itself? The new dropbox 3 has a very anti-windows-7 UI that I don't like, so I reinstalled 2.10. How do I stop dropbox from continually install...
The only way I could get the updates to stop was uninstalling the program. Which was a shame, since I've always really liked Dropbox. But I won't tolerate any software which won't let me opt out of automatic updates!
Yeah, as of today, the same for me. I would have to uninstall Dropbox on my imac. I am deleteing all my dropbox files and moving on to another remote file service. A lot of my ios apps well now break since there will not longer be a dropbox account.
For 30 yrs we nerds live and died to create, offer, and maintaine choice for the user. Nannyware is everywhere now. Oh and g-d forbid a bad update eats your stuff or damages something. Like fb, there is no phone tech support either.
Screw you Dropbox. Greedy evil company.
