Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for your input on this one claire m.16!
Even though I'm not in any decision making team and cannot comment on when or if this gets implemented, I'll make sure to pass your comments on to our dev team in my internal feedback report - thank you for showing your interest in this.
I'm logging this as a feature request for an option to clear all read notifications from the desktop app's menu.
If there's anything else you'd like to add, please let me know Claire; I'll be happy to follow up!
Use your power Walter!!!

I'll make a note of this too Claire - thanks for the suggestion.
Have a great day!
I would also like to see better management of notifications.
With over 50 programs of various types clamouring for attention on a daily basis it become a significant (and unnessary) chore to keep them cleaned up. I hope your programmers can keep that in mind.
What I would like to see is:
1) a one click dismiss
2) a one click delete (with verification)
3) Access to the notification database with simple database managment tools.
The information in the notifications can be useful, it is not clear what removal means. Is it deleted or just hidden? If hidden how can I see them? If not deleted why not?
Very clearly stated Michael.M224
I agree with all your points.
Go for it Walter!

1088 and counting since it's initial request in 2019. Any fix to this yet?
If and when there is a fix, how will we know?
Dropbox support has been a mess for years. Have any of you ever buried yourself in a trouble ticket with their support people? They barely read what you type to them and then come back with Cut & Paste responses (to make it seem like they are responding to tickets quickly) that have little to do with the question. I have had my eye out for a new service to replace them but it is daunting to move almost 3TB of data amongst other life priorities. I have pretty much given up on expecting anything impressive out of Dropbox.
