I can't opt out of the Dropbox For Windows Update

I keep getting a notification there is "Dropbox for Windows Update" which I do not want to install (it changes the way items are displayed in the dropbox folder). I found the below article to turn off this specific notification.  I followed the steps under but when I get to step 5 to open advanced settings then try to comlete step 6 "opt out for dropbox for windows updates" that option does not appear.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

      Hey Ronald R.7, thanks for reaching out to us.

       

      Have you already opted in for the update? If not, you don't need to opt out, you can simply ignore the notification.

       

      If you've opted in, but you're still not seeing the option in the screenshot, let me know.

       

      Thanks!
