How can I disable Dropbox for individual users on a Windows PC?
I have a PC (Windows 11) with accounts for multiple users, i.e. a family PC. I am using dropbox, and it works well. However, other users are not using dropbox. These other users experience an annoyin...

When given, dropbox startup is indeed disabled - not only for this user, but for all users of the PC.
I didn't realize it disabled that for all users.
Disable it for all users, then create your own shortcut for Dropbox and place it in the Startup folder within your own user profile.

Hi there,
I had to reset to factory my win10 pc. Once done, I've customized my profile (the one and only user by then) including installing and connecting to my dbox account.
After that I added another user to pc, and when loggin-in this new user, dbox start asking to log-in (or create a new account) every single time this new user logs in. As this 2nd user I went to startup apps and turned dbox off.. just to realize later dbox went off globally (means the 1st user also stop running dbox at its log-in) .. seems dbox was globally installed during 1st user customization.
The point is, being logged as 2nd user, I cannot find sort of option 'stop asking for log-in to this user' or such as .. there's no dbox icon on status bar to right-click on, coz -obviously- this user doesn't logs in.
So, 'the' question: is there anyway to tell dbox stop asking for log-in to this 2nd user (in fact there's a 3rd user as well, in wich I'm affraid to log in) .. or should I uninstall the whole dbox and re-install it on the 1st user profile ~ hoping it will ask then for 'global or single-user' installation?
Thanks in advance
