Re: Dropbox starting for all users

Dropbox is installed on one user profile but other profiles get a pop-up to sign in to Dropbox

I'm on a Windows 10 PC that uses multiple Windows accounts (local accounts, it if matters).

 

The Dropbox installer doesn't give the usual choice between setting it up for "all users"  or "current user".

 

As a result, the user who wants Dropbox is happy. But all the other users gets a popup *every time* they log in to Windows, asking them to sign into Dropbox and complete the installation. These users have no interest in Dropbox.

 

Is there any way to get rid of the popup for the additional users?

Thank you Nancy,

 

This seems to have sorted the problem, although it would be nice to know why this behaviour has only started in recent months, or whether it is by design.

 

Regards.
