How can I stop the desktop notification pop-up from showing up every time I click on a shared link?
Hello!
I use Dropbox daily for work. I use both the online version for reference and the desktop version for everything else. Recently, this pop-up has appeared on my machine, and it's driving me insane! I see the option for one preference, but it's missing the "don't ask again" option.
How can I prevent this pop-up from opening every time I click a link?
Thank you in advance!

Hey kenzie2029, welcome to our Community!
Would you mind clarifying the OS you're using, along with the Dropbox desktop app version installed on your machine?
You can find this by hovering your mouse over the little Dropbox icon in your task/menu bar next to your WiFi.
Does this persist after rebooting your computer and quitting and restarting the app?
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!

Hi kenzie2029,
I've talked to the team internally about this and they are looking into potentially changing some of the UI.
In the meantime, you can go to the sharing tab of your settings and just turn off this function.
I hope this helps!

Hi kenzie2029,
The team have implemented a change so that if you click the check box, the message will stop showing in the subsequent share links.
Thanks for letting us know!
