"Can't import photos from this device" pop up: add "don't show this again" checkbox

this request is due to a nuisance:
i use dropbox to backup the pix from my phone.
this popup appears every time i connect the phone to the computer, while the phone is locked.

sometimes this pop up appress again a few minutes later for no apparent reason or trigger.


connecting my phone might mean i just want it charged, i don't always require an immediate file transfer.

the pop up is intrusive and stays on top of everything else.

this pop up has no easy closing button (just the system's red dot), and the only options suggested are to "Get mobile app" (which i have, so who's dumb now?!) and "Why dropbox can't import" which leads to your website.
but I KNOW ALL THAT, AND I SIMPLY DON'T NEED MY PHOTOS IMPORTED RIGHT NOW.
i really do not need this annoying pop up screen.

customer support has led me here.
please consider letting me dismiss this pop up forever.

 

love and peace,

yaneev
