"What are you mostly using Dropbox for?" blocking my access

I get this screen on signin and it won't let me proceed without choosing one. 

 

It is NONE OF DROPBOX'S BUSINESS what I am using it for, nor do I need one more screen to click through for analytics that do not benefit me. 

 

Back to iCloud.

    Hi perspicacity888, I wouldn't mind having a closer look into this! 

     

    Which platform do you use when you notice this message? Is it on the desktop, mobile app or website? 

     

    If you happen to have a screenshot of the exact message, that'd be amazing. Just don't forget to hide any personal info that might be visible. 

     

    I'll be waiting for your reply!

    This is the screen. It's on a Mac desktop in a Chrome-based browser; screenshotted to hide headers and apps. If I don't select one, I can't click Continue to go any further.  So, personally, I don't and I go back to iCloud.

    Tell the "team" I shouldn't have to waste clicks, and if they want an analytics survey they should put it AFTER use, not before.  Nag screens are a great way to turn off users.
