How can I disable the Microsoft Co-Authoring feature from Office 365?

In our company wehave been using Dropbox Standard for more than 10 years. I use it on my PC with Office 365. Few days ago I installed Dropbox App "Dropbox for teams" into Office 365 (Excel) on my PC following the  instructions: https://www.dropbox.com/cms/content/dam/dropbox/warp/en-us/dropbox-app-integrations/microsoft/guide-for-microsoft-co-authoring.pdf?_camp=19458&_tk=modal_campaign_format

After installing it, I am not happy with functionallity of Teams for Dropbox inside MS Excel. I disconnected app from Dropbox\Settings\Apps section, but it still appears inside e.g. Excel.

    Hi @ Jay, 

    thank you for reply. I solved issue inside Office 365 in Excel: under File\account\connected services -  I was able to unselect Dropbox for Teams. This issue is solved.

    Jay - have the instructions for removing the Office 365 connection from Dropbox changed? I tried to follow the instructions on the link  you provided earlier in this thread but there is no "Additional Settings" option once I get to Settings.. and I can't find how else to proceed. thanks,

    Hi emgdc, thanks for posting here!

    If you try accessing your admin console, then settings and then app permissions are you able to make the necessary changes then?

    Looking forward to your reply!
