Dropbox asking me to sign in to the app every time I get on my computer - How can I remove it?

Hm... 🤔 ReallyAnnoyedWithDragon @, Is it possible Dropbox application has installed itself? I don't think so. In this context, is there something that prevent you uninstall it (wipe it out of your applications list) if you don't need it anymore?! 😉
Good luck.
This is also happening to me. I have Windows 11 and every time I access the internet the Drop box sign in box comes up. It is so annoying! It seems to be a common problem but the advice that is given involves headings on Settings that don't exist on my computer.

Hi Sarahltc, just for clarification, do you have that device currently linked to your Dropbox account, and is the desktop app running and syncing normally?
I'm afraid I'm not very tech savvy. I have Drop box bookmarked at the top of the screen with the sign in details saved. I don't use Drop box that often so would just open it when needed. Now whenever I go on the internet a sign-in box automatically pops up without prompting and I have to clear it. This has only recently started to happen (three weeks ago?)
