Hey christianius, thanks for the heads up! 

 

As Rich mentioned earlier, there is no option in the desktop application to turn them off and we would not recommend attempting to manually disable these capabilities. 

 

Your feedback regarding our Dropbox desktop application has been very valuable and I will endeavor to make sure your voice is heard.

 

I'll forward your feedback to the appropriate areas so we can continue to improve.

 

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

      Hey christianius what is your trick to get some engagement here?

      I couldn't help noticing that I post my issue, nothing happens for months, but as soon as you wrote "me too!" you got not one, but 3 different Dropbox moderators to participate!?! Great!

      And then they write to you like I don't even exist 🙂

      How do you do it? Are you a paying customer or something?

        Hi pgr, 
        I'm sorry that you've had to wait so long for action on your post (assuming action will follow the exchange).
        I've done nothing in particular, but yes, I do happen to be a paying customer and maybe that's making all the difference. 
        I guess what's important is that our issue has received attention, albeit belatedly in your case. Let's hope there's a resolution in the works 🙂
        Cheers, C.
