Prompt to open or install Dropbox on logon to Windows by second user.
I've been using Dropbox Basic on Windows for years now with no real problems. My wife shares the PC with me, has her own Windows 10 account, and does not have a Dropbox account. Recently very time sh...
Hey smithy_sid, I've found this relevant thread, with some useful info.
Can you take a look and let us know if you find anything helpful?
Hi Megan
Thnaks for getting back to me so quickly. The behaviour started about 4-5 weeks ago. The version of Dropbox I'm using is 204.4.5420, and I haven't carried out any manual updates. I've tried to attach two png screen grabs. Dropbox01 shows the window that pops up when my wife logs on. Clicking the close box (x) brings up Dropbox02. Clicking on the 'Later' button closes the popup and she can then carry on working normally.

Yes, this was very helpful. It seems to be working. Here is what I did:
1. I logged on from my user (not Admin) account and opened Start-Settings-Apps-Startup
2. I turned off Dropbox. Note: This prompted me to enter my Admin password, which I did.
3. I opened Start-Program List
4. I dragged the Dropbox link to my Desktop
5. I opened c:\Users\MyUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\ where MyUSERNAME was my username (NOT my admin account)
6. I moved the Dropbox link from Desktop into the above folder7. I logged off and then on again from my user account. Dropbox loaded automatically.
8. I logged off and my wife logged on with her user account. No pop-up!!
Thanks a lot for all your help. Hope this helps others.
