Well, xdg-mime is a somewhat mysterious thingie, but you can try mess with
mime directly. Either by finding kid3 .desktop file and removing
inode/directory (or whatever dropbox hooks with, it could be some kind of
uri), or edit/create mimeapps.list

Tho' you would think so.
jonesy@nix5:~$ xdg-mime query filetype Dropbox
inode/directory
jonesy@nix5:~$ xdg-mime query default inode/directory

I think xdg-xxxxxx is a rabbit hole I don't want to bother going down.
I can live with Dropbox's other access options. On Sun, 4 Aug 2019, Marvin Jones wrote:
By golly, I believe you pinned it down! With your guidance
I guessed at what was going on "behind the curtain" and entered:
$ xdg-open $HOME/Dropbox
and Kid3 opened up in the Dropbox directory!
Now to find out how to strip kid3 from the assignment in xdg-mime --
having never dealt with xdg-open / xdg-mime before.
Clicking on the System Tray object brings up the Dropbox menu.
Then clicking on "Open Dropbox Folder" brings up Kid3 !!!!
(kid3: the mp3 sound tag editor)
inode/directory probably
But, i doubt DropBox honors TDE settings. Most probably it uses
xdg-open. You'll have to play with xdg-mime to set correct default
