Dropbox Community ModeratorHey PedroAraujo!
Do you see this prompt when accessing your Office files online, or locally using our desktop app?
If you’re seeing a prompt in Office 365 to link your Dropbox account and you’d rather not use that integration, you can turn it off in your Dropbox desktop app:
-Open the Dropbox desktop app.
-Click your avatar in the menu bar (Mac) or system tray (Windows) and select Preferences.
-In the General tab, uncheck Show Dropbox as a save location in Microsoft Office.
Once you uncheck that option, Dropbox will no longer appear as a “Place” in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, and you won’t see the pop-up asking you to link your account.
Alternatively, can you try removing Microsoft Office 365 from this page?
Let me know how things turn out!
Yeah! Great! It works! Thank you veeeery much, dear Megan.
By the way, this solution hasn't worked (uncheck Show Dropbox as a save location in Microsoft Office). It was already unchecked when I contact you.
What did work was the "Alternatively, can you try removing Microsoft Office 365 from this page?" It had two Microsoft Office options there, and I removed both. And boom! Worked! No more annoying pop up haha. Thank you! Great way to start Friday!
