How to turn off continuous requests to update app?

How do you stop the requests.  I have clicked the update tab several times but the requests keep coming.

    Hey @Joel Poston Photography, have you changed the UAC settings on your machine to be more sensitive?

     

    Did you try to update the Dropbox desktop application manually using this link?

  • I think the link you gave me worked.  I haven't received a notification to update since.  Thank you for the link!

    Can you share that solution link?  When the update request states, I get about a dozen such notifications.  I allow one, then I delete the many other notifications....time consuming and frustrating.
