Once you choose Never show or If others present and close the window, the Dropbox badge should disappear. In the Preferences window, click on Change AutoPlay Settings. Otherwise, you can leave it at the default of Always show. Disable the Dropbox Camera Auto Upload Prompt Right-click the Dropbox icon from your System Tray and select Preferences. Close all other applications on your computer, restart your computer, and see if that fixes the problem.
