Preferences not listed under my Avatar

Dropbox pops up every time I open my computer (M1 MacBook Pro OS Sonoma 14.5)

Google says:

  1. Click the Dropbox menubar item.
  2. Click your account (usually your initials, in the top right of the window).
  3. Choose Preferences.
  4. Deselect the box labelled “Start Dropbox on system startup.”

I don't see Preferences under my Avatar.

I see: Settings, Manage Account, Automations, Install desktop app, Theme and Log Out.

    You're on the Dropbox website. Those steps refer to the Dropbox application installed on your computer.
