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.

I totally agree with the other comments here: It is absolutelty unprofessional to ask its users within a real productionenvironment to run a beta test for them. Thats not only unprofessional it raises also questions about some kind of mindchange behind this service. Using this service since more than a decade now, i am considering to switch if this behaviour doesnt stopt NOW.

And the kicker is that I tried the beta app a while back and it DIDN'T WORK! So I will never test the beta. Good god how do I turn these notifications off?!
