Dropbox StaffThanks, jeffinbville.
It seems that you are using the beta version of the app (xxx.3.xxxx), which might not give you the most seamless experience of the app.
Can you turn off the "early releases" option here and then simply reinstall the app from this link and let me know if it helps?

Hey jeffinbville. Have you made sure that UAC levels have been set to the default ones?
If yes, and you’re not on a free Basic account with more than 3 devices currently linked, I’d like you to uninstall and reinstall the Dropbox app as the next step.
Let me know if that fixes the issue.
This is the only program asking for permissions. Also, I reinstalled last night after two days of NOT getting these messages and now I'm getting them again.
Now, I've told Windows not to alert me when programs make changes to my computer and I'm not comfortable with that. There needs to be a better way.

Hey jeffinbville, could you try the offline installer from this page directly and let us know how it goes?
Also, make sure to install it with admin privileges as outlined here.
