Dropbox is a zombie!

Hi. I've deleted the Dropbox app from my Mac, removed Dropbox from my login items, and canceled my Dropbox account. Yet, when I restart my Mac (Mac Mini M1, OS 13.2.1), I still get the attached message.

How do I clean out Dropbox from my life, once and for all?

Thanks for any help.

Mac mini, macOS 13.2

How to Remove Login Items for Uninstalled Apps? Hello. I have an app that I, recently, tried out on my 2023 MacBook Pro (Ventura 13.5.1). I opted to uninstall the app (using AppCleaner). The app is no longer installed. However, one artifact still remains. Under "Allow in the Background" under "Login Items", a toggle for the deleted app still remains. I found an article that suggests a plist file could remain in one of three locations: The LaunchAgents folder in the user Library The LaunchAgents folder in the system Library The LaunchDaemons folder in the system Library I checked all three. I found nothing related to this app. So how do I get rid of this? Anyone have any ideas? I also emailed the developer. Still waiting for a response.

How do you prevent apps from launching at startup (Box app)? (login items doesn't solve that) Hi, How do you prevent apps from launching at startup, namely the Box app? The login items in Users / Groups doesn't solve that. I removed their .phlist in Launch Agents and Launch Daemons. Still starts at startup. Box's support can't be reached and there is no info on that question on their community support platform, so I'm reaching out here. MacOS Monterey on MacBook Pro M1 Thank you!
