How do I prevent Dash from running on my stuff?

I know dropbox trusts OpenAI to run Dash, but I sure don't. And every generative AI output has a serious environmental cost, both water an energy, not a cost i'm willing to incur. I don't want this thing going near my account. I read somewhere that it is off by default in Europe, but on in the US. How can I make sure it isn't running on my account?

    Dash is an application and browser extension that needs to be installed on your computer, and you need to allow it to connect to your account. If you don't want to use it, don't install it or allow it to connect to your account.
