How to shut down, quit, the DropBOT feature in Dropbox?

This "applet" annoyingly covers part of the screen, and comes up every time I go to the Dropbox website. I'm not seeing how to shut it down, or how to just quit it. Thanks!

    Ok, so it turns out the command to exit the "feature" is to type "close" in the question box. I had tried things like asking "how do I exit from this", "quit", "exit", among other things.

     

    Suggestion: at the end of the canned suggested questions which are presented should be

     

    "To exit this search" type Close

It may not even be a Dropbox app, it might be something called "Dropbot" or "Dropbot ai" which got inserted into my Dropbox. In any case it is automatically invoked when I log into my Dropbox.com

Any ideas/suggestions?

Uninstall and re-Install Dropbox?

 

Thanks!

    This problem does Not come up when I log into Dropbox from a different computer.

    Thanks everyone; I'm pretty frustrated...
