How do I remove the DB shell extension? I can't find any such setting to do so.

For Windows:

- Download ShellExView and run it. Sort entries alphabetically by description and disable "ContextMenuHandler Class" and "DropboxExt CopyHook Class".

- If you don't want to see the status icons on files and folders you should also disable "DropboxExt1" through "DropboxExt8".

- Kill explorer.exe and restart it from Task Manager: File -> Run new task -> type in explorer and press OK
