Yes, I have that option on, and I did indeed turn it off and back on.  The next restart Dropbox did not start again, so I deemed that one a bust. I didn't see any other options in the Dropbox tray app that might change this behavior.

I did an Internet search before posting and tried a number of "solutions", none of which worked.

Is this perhaps just a limitation of the basic Dropbox?

Hey john1911, I wanted to check if you tried Walter’s previous suggestion and if it worked in the end. 

Keep me in the loop for any updates.
