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?

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.

Thanks MH19, and at the risk of sounding redundant, when was the last time you experienced this issue.
I just want to make sure I have an accurate example when I let our team know so they can investigate properly. - MH195 months agoHelpful | Level 5
It happens every time I open my computer. No need to ask me any more questions, you have all the info. Thanks.

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?

Thanks. Sure I can do that. Why wouldn't my desktop app be updating automatically though?

The recent build is very fresh so it might be because you didn't reboot your computer and/or quit and relaunch the Dropbox desktop app MH19
