Potential security problem with Google Sign-In, even with 2FA when accessing my account.

There is no option for that within Dropbox.
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.
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).
Fix your Google auto sign-in and your issue is resolved.
