Can you test the following?

dropbox.com##+js(set-session-storage-item, has_seen_interstitial, true)
dropbox.com##+js(trusted-set-local-storage-item, dbx_previews_log_out_download_modal, 2147483647000)

Also, a maintainer might find this interesting.

@partingscientist The first filter along with:

dropbox.com#?#div[class^="_headerContainer"] > div[style]:has(> div[class^="_banner_"] > div[class^="_text-container"] > button > span:contains(app))

are currently included in AdGuard Annoyances – Mobile App Banners list, but they don’t solve the issue on Android.

[krystian3w]

That filter cut small blue bar above "player".

If AdGuard reject Greek language then we need these filter with corrected word or all sentence/phrase:

! bar
dropbox.com#?#div[class^="_headerContainer"] > div[style]:has(> div[class^="_banner_"] > div[class^="_text-container"] > button > span:contains(Εμφάνιση στην εφαρμογή))

to hide blue bar.

@krystian3w ?

[krystian3w]

I do not use the website and no one has asked Polish Annoyances Filters to effectively hide/block it.

[DimitrisKalaboukas]

No account is required to reproduce the issue on Android.

[krystian3w]

I was more interested in the fact that maybe once 'every' 5 years I have to download something from this "cloud".

Since an account is not required, almost everyone can think of a solution when these with set-session-storage-item & trusted-set-local-storage-item there are not enough effects.

[krystian3w]

At my side on real smartphone with partingscientist scriptlets we can hide big last modal/pop-up after correct word/words used in header:

! May needed base at this time:
dropbox.com##+js(set-session-storage-item, has_seen_interstitial, true)
dropbox.com##+js(trusted-set-local-storage-item, dbx_previews_log_out_download_modal, 2147483647000)

! pop-up - use only one filter
dropbox.com##.ReactModalPortal:has([role="dialog"] h2:has-text(Το αρχείο σας κατεβαίνει))
dropbox.com##.ReactModalPortal .ReactModal__Overlay:has([role="dialog"] h2:has-text(Το αρχείο σας κατεβαίνει))

! useless empty div?
dropbox.com##div[data-react-modal-body-trap=""]:is([style*="opacity: 1"], [style*="opacity: ."], [style*="opacity: 0.]):empty:has(~ .ReactModalPortal [role="dialog"] h2:has-text(Το αρχείο σας κατεβαίνει))

due click on 'arrow' ⬇️ button at page saves files without close pop-up with girl on 'Garden chair' near 'rainforest'.

[DimitrisKalaboukas]

Which is the trusted list prefix to make custom filter lists trusted by uBO? The prefix “user-” applies only to “My filters”.
