If you don't have it enabled and you're still receiving a request for a code, then what you're seeing isn't two-step verification; it's a one-time security code, and Dropbox will request them when they feel the sign in attempt is suspicious. These types of security codes cannot be disabled.

The issue that I have is I use a password manager, that hasn't been hacked and store the file on dropbox. Since I dont know any passwords or logins to any site I solely rely on dropbox to provide the file to me when I need it. If I were to lose access to email, phone and everything else I would nee to access my dropbox to regain access to everything. This is a feature that I critically need. Without it dropbox is useless 100% for me!
