Taskbar app hard to exit

I been finally, yes after years...  planning on upping to a paid version.

I was comparing things.  Recently, about a month or 2 now, a patch made my decision.

I've always been a bit annoyed with the rclick , hit account, then exit(quit) and it do a popup to hit ok.   All other taskbar setups, i rclick select quit/exit and they are gone.

I shutdown 4 computers 2 times a day.  just one time, its annoying. it gets old fast.

The recent update?  made it even worse.

Now its rclick exit, Taskbar popup, click exit,  THEN the popup.

  So, i worked on moving my data to another platform.

Yes. all because someone thought it was a good idea to annoy me, with making sure i wanted to exit, when i selected exit.

Thanks for the years.

    CTRL-left click, Exit Dropbox. That's all that's needed. No pop-up, no confirmation. The app just closes.

    Additionally, if you're shutting down the computer, there's no need to exit the Dropbox application. It will close on its own. The application is meant to stay running all the time, so I can understand with the wanting to confirm that a person really wants to exit it.
