Hi
I have had Dropbox since it started. I have it installed on a Windows 11 Pro machine and this machine has multiple users. I am the only user that uses Dropbox.
In recent weeks all the other users get an annoying popoup every time they log into Windows asking them to sign in or create an account. This has never happened before over ther many years of using Dropbox.

I can only assume that this behaviour has started since some update, either Dropbox or Windows.
Can anyone help resolve this issue?
Thank you.

Hey @Neil K., I’ve merged your post to this thread as your issue sounds similar to the OP.
Can you check Rich’s solution here and let me know if it helps?

Regards.
