Dropbox Community ModeratorThank you for your feedback on this one Ian - much appreciated. I'll be passing it on to our developers for future improvements.
In the meantime, note that you can disable or enable notifications on the Dropbox desktop application by following these steps:
1) Click on the small Dropbox icon in your menu bar
2) Click on the gray colored gear icon
3) Select "Preferences..."
4) Toggle the boxes of the notifications you'd like to enable or disable.
[To remove specific notifications you already have in the notifications panel of the Dropbox desktop application, you can click the three dots at the upper right corner of the notification you'd like to remove, and then click remove.]
I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any more feedback or questions ianstudio!
There are no three dots showing up on the notification. see screenshot.
Can you please help me.
Changes were made that dropped the dots. We have to keep lobbying for a feature that would be no notices older than x months, or somesuch.
you rick for you reply. that was helpful.
In the interim what can I do to remove those notifications?
All you can do :-( is to create more new notifications until the old ones pop off the bottom of the screen. I suspect they cannot be removed, so I just ask for a feature that would hide old ones.
Yup, mine looks like that too. Today I got a "notification" from Dropbox to join a team - except that they're all people I've never heard of, and I can't get rid of the notification. I used to be an analyst/programmer so I can say with some confidence that this is lousy programming.
This is ridiculous. I know of no other system that does not let you clear notifications. Some of mine have no menu [...], and if they do, there is no remove. I have ones from Dropbox that are three years old. I'm running Windows 10 Pro.
You should be able hide acknowledged notifications, search and select notifications, delete or acknowlege selected notifications.In Dropbox version 81.3.190 still no sign for clearing notifications.
Can anyone at Dropbox please explain why a simple funtionality as clearing notifications is not implemented yet???
