Apps and Installations

Hi @AmettOmega; how are you today?
I'm sorry to ask, but are you perhaps referring to the app's icon within your computer's system tray/menu bar?
In that case, you can hide it but not disable it as long as our desktop app is running on your machine. If you quit the app though, it won't show up there as it won't be syncing any changes you make within your Dropbox folder on your computer.
If you were, by any chance, referring to the Dropbox Badge, I'd suggest taking a look at the dedicated Help Center article.
I hope this helps!

There is no feature within Dropbox to disable the icon overlays. There are workarounds, some more succesful than others, if you search the forums, but none of them are supported.

Ah, it is the "Dropbox Badge". Weird name for a collaboration tool. Thanks a lot, I went to the help article. Hopefully that will resolve it.
