Hey vicw​ - thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on this with us.

Unless you're an admin on a Dropbox team account, there's no way to completely disable the option to use the Google Sign In option at this time, but I'll make sure to  pass your feedback on to the team. 

When it comes to the issue you mentioned with the 2FA, could you share some additional information or even screenshots so that we make sure we're  on the same page? 

Thank you so much!
