It's possible you might have the app installed on your machine, but not signed into your account.
The sign-in box, that covers a good part of the screen, is just like the image shown by the first person in this thread (see top of page). If I click on the x a second smaller box comes up asking whether I would like to sign in later.

Thanks, this means that you have installed the Dropbox desktop application. If you're not using it, you can uninstall it by following these steps.
I don't have a 'Quit' option. Would 'Log out' be the same?
