Could you forward a screenshot of that so I can get a better view of the matter at hand bsteve?

Also, note that the desktop application can display notifications on your computer when changes are detected in your Dropbox account while you should be able to choose which notifications you'll receive as well: 

  1. Click the Dropbox icon from your menu bar (Mac) or system tray (Win/Linux).
  2. Click the gear icon and select Preferences... from the menu.
  3. Check or uncheck the boxes under Notify me about to choose which notifications you'll receive.

Let me know how this goes!

Hello

I agree with all the community requests about the need to be able to hide (or otherwise permanently remove) notifications in bulk.

Walter, we do not necessarily want to TURN OFF the notifications. That is easy to do.

Our issue is having to go through each of the received notifications *in two steps* (!!) to get rid of a notification we have dealt with.

There should be an option to delete all "read" notifications.

And if we are going through them one by one to delete them, DB should learn that we are not trying to register a complaint about an obscene notification. We are trying to clear our workspace. The 2-step remove procedure should fade out.

Please can you give us a fix for this immediately?

Thanks
