Literally the first sentence of your own source:

Dropbox has hidden third party AI settings, not disabled them

But the comments below say they're not able to access the new page, even with the direct URL... It seems certain tiers of customers can't opt out. Possibly they can't be included in the first place (e.g. EU users), but it's a pretty big screw up to hide one's status on such an important privacy setting.

Ok, so how do I as a user access these to change those settings please?

If they're hiding them, chances are it's only going to get worse, not better.
