Dropbox cannot give you a log on popup if its not install. 

If its a new machine there is a good chance its pre-installed as quite a few come with bonus quota offers.

      You want to look in Control Panel under Programs, Uninstall a program, or under Settings, Apps. You can also look in the Microsoft Store under Library in case you have the Store version installed.
