once i uninstall Dropbox app i stops happening, and if i reinstall as soon as i log into and connect the dropbox app it starts again.

Thanks for posting about this issue here, @FLMP.

 

If you’ve currently uninstalled Dropbox, can you attempt to install it again via our offline installer?

 

Let me know if you keep seeing the same thing after that.
