How do I get rid of the second Dropbox in the QuickAccess sidebar? They point to the identical location on the user’s hard drive.

Dropbox Support won’t help with that, because, “This issue is related to Microsoft, and not Dropbox, so we are not allowed to troubleshoot this as it's outside of our scope of expertise.”

open regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{CLSID_HERE} < find the CLSID for both Dropbox entries - should be 2 separate ones
change one of them to value 0 for "System.IsPinnedToNamespaceTree" dword

Thank you, I have seven entries in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\. They refer to “Bitmap Image,” “OneDrive - Personal,” “OneDrive,” “(value not set),” “Learn about this picture,” “Paintbrush Picture,” and “Microsoft.Teams.MeetingAddin.View.Controls.MeetingOptionsControl.” None of these remotely look like they are related to what I am looking for.
