How do I disable the "Welcome to Dropbox" badge popup on Mac?

I can see there's an option to disable the badge but I'm happy with the badge, just need to get this insanely annoying pop-up gone.

Hey there, RyanC, welcome to our Community! 

What happens when you click on the badge itself? Do you still see the same pop-up window then, or does it disappear? 

Also, would you mind clarifying your OS, along with the Dropbox version that you're using on the machine? 

Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!

It goes away when I click the badge.

Running: 15.4.1 (24E263)

Dropbox version: 223.4.4909

    Hey RyanC, thanks for the info! 

    If the pop-up goes away when you click on it, then it sounds like it's working as it should. 

    At the moment, you wouldn't be able to stop the pop-up unless you click on the badge. 

    You could always disable the badge entirely, but I didn't suggest it since this isn't what you wanted. 

    If you need something else, please let me know and I will be more than happy to help every step of the way.
