Remove login popup when sharing a link to download

Remove this very frustrating sign in popup. We're all getting sick of our customers and clients asking "can you give me access" or "we dont have a dropbox login" or "can you share it with XYZ"

USERS: please like this post so dropbox considers listening. 

We're paying customers, stop using us as marketing to get more people to sign up. This is the reason we're looking at Sharepoint as an agency. 

1 - turn it off 

2 - or add a setting to turn it off for PAYING customers

3 - stop locking the topics about it:
