How can I disable the Camera Uploads feature on a Windows device?

I've googled this but can't find an answer. Every time I plug a new USB storage device into my Windows 10 computer the Dropbox Camera Uploads dialog pops up wanting me to import, and it's driving me mad! I've seen instructions on how to disable it on mobile devices, but the Windows Dropbox settings only allow you to choose between Photos or Photos and VIdeos, there's no disable! Changing the settings in Autoplay doesn't help because Dropbox egnores this setting for every new USB storage device.

How do I disable this infuriating pop-up once and for all??
