Remove "Login/SignUp" Popup window from dropbox transfer link

Hello, 

I just now noticed that as a paid user, everytime we send a client of ours a dropbox transfer link with our own branding, it upsells our own clients! With some pop up box about some log in into dropbox. I now that it has a "download only" on the bottom but this is not reseonable.

 

We are users that pay dropbox for a service, dont upsell our own clients.

 

I kindly ask the removal of this feature asap.

    Hi Walter, is there any update on when this pop up box will be removed? I have had multiple long time clients ask me why they now have to sign in to download their files. To which I have had to reply with a guide with screenshots on how to download the file.

    I agree with COLI.

    This is advertisment made on my friends/clients.

    This, as a paying customer, is unacceptable.

    This needs to be removed.

    Thank you

    This is my greatest complain about Dropbox and the reason I do not recommend it as a cloud service to friends.

    Also this might finally be the reason I will. Switch to another cloud provider.

    Still no updates regarding this issue? I need an answer ASAP. It's unacceptable to send links like this to our clients. The paying users should have the option to turn this pop-up screen off. If not, I have to cancel my subscription and use a different service to send work to our clients.

    Glad to read I am not the only one on this. I have been getting replies from clients as well saying they can't access the file I sent. To be honest, I didn't even know they were getting this login popup, so I felt awkward as it's not user friendly. It's very misleading. The 'or continue with download' link is completely hidden. Even I had to look for it.

    Please Dropbox Walter , give us paid users the option to turn this off, its frustrating. To be frank: for one client, who is not tech-savvy, I am uploading my files to Proton Drive which I specifically opened for him. Why? It has an easy download functionality, no BS.

    I am still waiting for proper feedback on this issue Walter .

    Trust me, just waiting and hoping this issue goes away, will not work.

    Users will simply switch to a different provider, if this issue is not going to be resolved soon.
