Wow, this is just bizzaro. I have notifications going back many years that I want to remove, but there is NO WAY TO DO THAT. I don't want to select which ones to recieve, and I don't want to turn them off for a limited time. I want them to GO AWAY. The three-dot removal would have been adequate, but that's gone now.

I'm bailing out of Dropbox, and going to an application that is designed with some common sense. Dropbox management seems to have bailed on us.

I'm now sold on "Sync". Works like Dropbox, but without all the notification garbage. Bye, Dropbox!

Could not agree more. Highly irritating, very old problem...time to move elsewhere.

    I think we should be asking for a "How far back to show notifications" feature.  

    (the underlying notifications are retained 'forever')
