Ideally what I want is to completely disable Google Sign-In ...
\nThere is no option for that within Dropbox.
\n\n
\n
Auto sign-in is disabled ... Despite this, it still lets me auto sign-in in the Dropbox app.
This sounds like an issue with your Google account or phone, rather than a problem with Dropbox. If you're signing in with Google and Google isn't allowing you to confirm the sign-in, that's on Google. Dropbox can't control that.
\n\n
Perhaps it's happening because you've already signed in using Google and allowed access, so it's remembering that connection and just signing in. If so, disable the connection between Google and your Dropbox account (in your Google account settings).
\n\n
Fix your Google auto sign-in and your issue is resolved.

Disable the auto sign-in on your Google account so you have to provide confirmation before signing in, use a secure passcode for the device itself, and don't use SMS for the Dropbox two-step verification. Use an authenticator app that you can further secure.
\n\n
Any service is only as secure as the weakest link. If you're that worried about the device being compromised, you shouldn't have anything set up for auto sign-in, and you shouldn't be using a simple SMS message for multi-factor authentication.
