 Don't worry, the Dropbox package from the repositories is OK. Choosing
"Don't Ask Again" will install the Dropbox client universally for the
whole system as this is in conformity with the Ubuntu package
management, as opposed to the upstream package which installs the client
individually per user.

Auto-update is disabled. If you want to have the latest version; when a
new one comes out from here https://www.dropbox.com/release_notes
<https://www.dropbox.com/release_notes>, just type in a terminal or run
a command (Alt+F2) "gksudo dropbox update", without the quotes, then
enter your password and that's it.
