UNINSTALL with a Mac
I want to get rid of Dropbox entirely from my Mac. I'm not a very advanced Mac user, and ordinarily apps can be uninstalled with ease, but not with Dropbox. I followed all the procedures according to...
Open the Dropbox app and under its setting uncheck enable Finder integration. Then quit the app and try to drag it to the trash.
I cannot say for certain this will work but a few users have reported they had success with this route.
* I would also uncheck "Start Dropbox on system startup", doing this will allow you to log out and back in if the initial uninstall attempt above doesn't work. After the log out and in, you should be able to remove the app with no issue.
