How can I disable the Dropbox Badge?
WHY WHY WHY is there a unkillable drobox badge following me to every program!!!!!!!
Hey there jessicatee - sorry to hear about this.
You can disable it by clicking on the Dropbox icon in your system tray, then the gear icon, then Preferences. You'll then have the option to choose when you'd like to see the Dropbox badge: "Always show", "If others present" and "Never show."
To completely disable the Dropbox badge, select "Never Show" from the drop down menu. That will prevent Dropbox from showing the badge on your Office documents.
Hope this helps and let me know if you need anything else!

Dropbox Community ModeratorYes, correct. This would disable the Badge's behavior completely Peter.
The desktop app - while running and actively syncing- is monitoring the files you have within your Dropbox folder for changes (often made with/by 3rd party apps) and if you'd like to prevent that, you can quit the desktop application on your computer when working on your files or even completely uninstall it and access your files only from the web.
I hope this sheds some additional light and I'm always around if you have any more questions.
Stay safe!
thats funny because after having done all you suggested, I still get popups. For example when I take a screenshot, I get a badge asking me if I want to upload it into dropbox.
When I installed dropbox, I wanted a file sharing device that takes one(!) specific folder and makes it available to one(!) other person except me. What I got apparently is a little snitch that follows my every move on Windows and babbles in for me to upload it. Why?
