How do I stop the Dropbox desktop app from opening whenever I start my computer?

I get a popup, as on the right in the image below, every time I turn on my computer. How do I stop this?

    Thanks for clarifying that for us MH19 

    Since there's an updated version of the Dropbox desktop app, could you give it a go from this page directly and let us know if it improved matters at all?

Hi MH19​,

I just wanted to touch base with you again and let you know the team is currently addressing this issue.

In the meantime are you still experiencing this behavior? I just want to double check. I'll be keeping an eye on this issue for any updates I can share with you.

      Thank you for confirming!

      I just wanted to double check if there was any changes in behavior that I could pass on to the team. As I said, this is currently being worked on and I'll let you know of any updates as soon as I hear them.

      Hi MH19​,

      Can you confirm if you're using the most up to date version of Dropbox? I believe a fix should be rolled out for this.
