Can I disable auto-updates?

Like many programs and applications, Dropbox may automatically update to the latest version. These updates are rolled out gradually after a new update is available, and are necessary to keep the desktop app functioning.

You cannot disable or turn off auto-updates.

These updates ensure you’re running the most up-to-date version of Dropbox, which often has performance and security enhancements. And if Dropbox can't keep itself up-to-date, some features may stop working. For example, the app may stop syncing.

Notes about auto-updates:

  • If Dropbox software is installed on your computer, it will update regardless of whether you installed it or the application came preloaded by the device manufacturer
  • The proxy settings you add using these steps aren't used to update the Dropbox app
    • Dropbox uses your operating system network settings to apply auto-updates
