Dropbox Automatically Enters Startup
Dear Dropbox Community,
Long time Dropbox member. I am puzzled by Dropbox automatically goes into my Mac startup apps everytime I sign in.
Is there a way to prevent this from happening. It is annoying and I put up with it until I go into system preferences and delete it from "apps at startup."
I don't recall giving Dropbox permission to do this and they should delete this "feature" from their app.
Thanks,
Frank

Hi DiMarco, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Have you tried disabling this option in the Dropbox desktop application preferences?
Keep me updated with any progress!
Thanks so much, Jay, but I was unable to find this option in Dropbox Preferences. I was able, however to select 2-step verification.
Could you possibly direct me to the location in Dropbox Preferences where the option to disable Dropbox from my Mac startup can be selected?
Sorry to sound like such a dolt. Thanks,
Frank

Hi DiMarco, you can click the Dropbox icon in your menu bar in the top right corner of your screen.
Then click your avatar (profile picture or initials) in the upper-right corner and then click Preferences.
Can you verify that the box next to "Start Dropbox on system startup" is unchecked?
