Turn off comments for all files?

Quick question: Is there a way to turn off comments for any and all files? If one never wants to use comments, will that window always have to appear?

    Disabling comments completely is only available to Dropbox for Business customers. For everyone else, you can turn off comments for an individual file, but that's it.

I am unable to even turn off comments for 1 file. The stupid "Help" files are for a previous incarnation of the interface, and do not apply to the current version!!
Talks about "not giving a **** about the user"!!
I can't believe they expect people to pay for this shoddy stuff.

I am also a pro user and have been unable to turn off comments, despite selecting that option in the document. Futher, the comments dominate the notification list, so I can no longer view the 'recently changed files' when I click on the desktop icon. Please provide a solution as this makes the entire DB product extremely less usable.
