How do I remove Dropbox Dash from my computer?

I use my company Dropbox for work, but I work from my personal computer. Recently my company began using Dropbox Dash, and now Dropbox Dash has automatically been installed (if that's the accurate term) on my computer. This causes Dropbox to randomly open and attempt to give itself a permanent place on my Mac's dock; it's very intrusive.

I have no interest in using Dropbox Dash. How can I remove Dash from my personal computer without removing it for the whole company?

Additional information:

  • Dropbox Dash does not appear as a separate app on my computer, so it cannot be independently uninstalled. 
  • I have never downloaded the Dash extension.
  • I am currently on version 244.3.6471 (244.3.6471). I believe these issues began with the most recent update.
  • I already tried disconnecting Dash at 

    https://www.dropbox.com/account/connected_apps, but I believe this disconnected Dash for the whole company—it was reconnected within hours.

I would be glad to share screenshots if appropriate, but I'm not sure what I would take a screenshot of—the Dropbox icon in my dock? :) Regardless, glad to provide any additional materials or information necessary to get this addressed.

    Thank you for your feedback. Could you please clarify: do you see this issue when using the Dropbox desktop application on your Mac, or when accessing Dropbox.com (web version)?
