on Mac OS (10.14.5) the new Dropbox Version 77.4.131 opens at Systemstart now in the Dock additionally to the menu bar. that is very annoying. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Agreed. Dropbox never appeared in the Dock before - it just lives in the menubar. Now, all of a sudden, a Dropbox app opens in the Dock. I quit it, but after half an hour or so, it opens back up. I don't see a preference for this behavior.

    Hi all!

    We’ve been working on rolling out a new Dropbox desktop experience for select users, which features the new dock icon. We appreciate the feedback, and are taking it into consideration as we continue to improve this new component of the desktop app.

    Please do keep the feedback coming!

      I, too, am NOT a fan of the new behavior. Accessing the app via the menu bar is my strongly preferred method -- I do not want an additional open app in my Dock or my Cmd-Tab list.  I would very much prefer an option to keep Dropbox "background only" (i.e., menu bar only), and to open the main app only upon command ... I do not want this to be forced behavior.  (Similarly to many VPNs -- they live in the menu bar and the main app hides in the background without a dock icon unless explicitly called upon.)

      Please, please, please, provide an option to disable the auto-launch of the Dock app.

      Feedback: DO NOT PUSH THIS TO USER WHO DON'T WANT IT. Like me. I have looked at the "features" of the new Desktop app and I do not want any of this cruft on my machine. If you force this on us, I will simply cancel Dropbox. (I've already moved the vast majority of my files off Dropbox, sunce it iss impossible to share files without allowing people to comment on the files. Another horrible "feature" that is nothing but user-hostile.

        We recently announced a new desktop app experience that is now currently available in Early Access. Due to an error, some users were accidentally exposed to the new app for a short period of time. 
         
        This issue has been resolved, though there might be a short lag for some users to see resolution.
         
        Thank you for your patience as we worked through this.
