... that says I've assigned a new app "Dropbox Capture" to my account.

I've uninstalled Dropbox at least 6 months ago cause it was constantly updating my desktop with these green checkmark-synced status even though I've *never* used the feature to begin with.

Uninstall Dropbox, it still does it some times.

Now I got these mails(3) on Capture. You're probably thinking spam or phishing but the links inside the mail all go to the official main site.


My trust level of Dropbox is subzero at this point.

What do I do to get it to stop bugging me? Reinstall windows?

Hi @smith1911, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

You can check to see if you have any Dropbox programs on your machine and uninstall them if need be. 

 

Additionally, you can unlink any apps from this page, and disable notifications as well.

 

If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
