Notifications about beta
How many times do I have to click "no thanks" before Dropbox stops asking me to try the beta by adding a huge red bubble to my menu bar icon?

so I had this problem until about now and resolved it with the help of support chat, so thought I'd post it here, 'cause ppl are still posting in this thread.
if you still has this issue and haven't resolved it first of all check your version (you can find it in preferences or just hovering over the icon in menu), if it's something like 173.3.6706 then you already running beta, the .3 tells it, stable has .4 in the version. if so, go to your general settings on the site (https://www.dropbox.com/account/general) find 'Early releases' section, turn it off.
after that quit your app, redownload stable from the site, reinstall, wait a minute (if you didn't turn off the option it's gonna update itself to beta and restart), check again that you're running .4 in the version.
everything should be fine now.
still don't know if I turned this option somehow a while ago or it was on by default.

"The beta experience for Dropbox on macOS is available now."
I think I've seen this message 20 times over the last couple months, and I've answered "No Thanks" each time. The red notification dot is very attention-grabbing in the top right area of my work computer and each time I roll my eyes and click the No Thanks again.
If you *really* need beta testers, please email me. Maybe I can be persuaded. Either way, please consider stopping pushing these notifications every week.
Thank you.
