Hey there jessicatee - sorry to hear about this.
You can disable it by clicking on the Dropbox icon in your system tray, then the gear icon, then Preferences. You'll then have the option to choose when you'd like to see the Dropbox badge: "Always show", "If others present" and "Never show."
To completely disable the Dropbox badge, select "Never Show" from the drop down menu. That will prevent Dropbox from showing the badge on your Office documents.
Hope this helps and let me know if you need anything else!

I don't want the Dropbox Badge to EVER appear again in any 3rd party applications. How do I turn this massively annoying new "feature" off forever? Or is it time to go shopping for a new cloud service that doesn't continually find new ways to annoy and harrass its users?
