How can I disable the Dropbox sign-in notification on one of my Windows user profiles?

Hi all!

I have a PC with windows 10 and with automatic startup for dropbox (version 293.3.4428). In this PC there are two accounts; the first has automatic log-in (but no dropbox account for this user) the latter, instead has an account on dropbox. So, when the pc start-up the first account receive an annoying spash screen by dropbox of sign-in. Can I disable this message?

Regards.

    Disable the automatic startup of Dropbox. This will prevent it from launching for all users of the computer. For the one user account that needs Dropbox to start automatically, create your own shortcut to the Dropbox executable and put it in the Start Up folder for that user.
