New icon showing up in macOS dock

Today, a Dropbox icon appeared in my dock that wasn't there before.  Does anyone know a way to disable it and go back to the old behavior, where the only Dropbox UI was the menu item?

    Hi Everybody,

     

    We have resolved this issue. Quit and relaunch your Dropbox app to remove the icon from your dock. In some cases, caching issues require a second quit and relaunch. Please let us know if this issue persists and I will pass that information onto the appropriate team.

     

    Regards,

    Ben
