How to turn off continuous requests to update app?

How do you stop the requests.  I have clicked the update tab several times but the requests keep coming.

Hey @Joel Poston Photography, let's jump right into this! 

Would you mind sending over a screenshot of the notification you're referring to, in order for me to have a visual? 

Also, what is the OS of your current device? 

Let me know more!

Hey @Joel Poston Photography, thanks for the update! 

I sounds like the Dropbox desktop application is trying to update, and needs these permissions to do so, but it’s possible that another app or service is preventing the update.

Are you running any apps that could interact with the Dropbox folder in some way, that could affect the app?

Overnight last night, I closed all programs with only email still running and I mute my speakers.  Next morning as I come into my office I see 8 or 9 of those badges across the bottom of my screen all for dropbox updates.  I click on update and nothing happens.  I've tried opening dropbox as admin and it wont update.  I go to the settings and I don't see anything update there either.

Hey @Joel Poston Photography, have you changed the UAC settings on your machine to be more sensitive?

Did you try to update the Dropbox desktop application manually using this link?

• I think the link you gave me worked.  I haven't received a notification to update since.  Thank you for the link!
