Uninstalling Dropbox in mac is just a different approach than in Windows OS.

To uninstall the Dropbox you simply need to drag & drop the Dropbox application bundles to trash, that's it. STOP this is not the end there is more to properly uninstalling the Dropbox from your machine.

Dropbox Bundles – The Application Bundle

Drag & Drop leaves the associated files of Dropbox application. Normally, it is thought that all the associated files of a application is saved in the one folder but it is not so. Dropbox supported files & preference files are saved in other location than the Dropbox Package folder. So you need to get all these files deleted manually.

Some of the location where Dropbox would have saved the files are ~/Library/Preferences/[] ~/Library/Application Support/[]
