What you're doing is against the Terms and could result in the account (and all data) being deleted. A Dropbox account is intended for a single individual and should not be shared. If you need to share files, the intent is that each person has their own Dropbox account and you invite everyone to a shared folder.
This feature should be optional. Is there a way to disable it permanently?

This isn't from the normal two-step verification that you can enable on your account. Dropbox sends these one-time security codes when they detect a suspicious sign in attempt, and since you're sharing an account with other people around the world, having sign in attempts to a single account from around the world probably looks pretty suspicious.
