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!

Hey there Michael M.224 - thanks for providing your precise, descriptive feedback; it really helps a bunch!
I'll make sure all your comments are passed to the product team; your constructive feedback is what helped us improve our services and features all these years after all.
On a side note, I've also moved this post under the 'Share an Idea' section of our Community for more visibility. Other users can find it and upvote it too!
Happy Monday people!
Thanks Walter!
If I can find the shared idea I will definitely upvote. :grinning:
Very appropriate requests. I would like to add my strong wish for this feature, at least the ability to select multiple notices before deleting them with the three-dot menu.
I am suprised to see in 2019 that you cannot clear the read history in notifications. Easy fix for a service I am paying for.
- I agree with everyone else here … and Walter, you should know that since Dropbox 74 appeared (on the Mac, anyway) those "three dots" ARE GONE. I used to be able to delete / remove old notifications albeit tediously, one by one. There is now absolutely NO WAY WHATSOEVER to remove the dozens and dozens of years-old notifications that are now showing again in the Dropbox desktop menu on my Mac… notifications that are no longer relevant and in some cases bring back bad memories. Removing this ability is an unbelievably bad design choice for a service I'm paying $$$ for! PLEASE tell the UI team to give us the ability to, with ONE simple click, clear/remove all old notifications, please. Even Apple FACETIME has this!! (It's called "clear all recents") … this should not be a difficult thing to do.

Thanks for your input on this one Tech-Daddy - I'll pass your comments on to our dev team in my internal feedback report to let them know about this.
If there's anything else you'd like to add, don't hesitate to let me know; I'm only a post away!
For gosh sake Walter, reading all these descriptions makes me wonder how the developers can sleep at night.
Why would this request to be able to delete all read notices, be a low-priority issue?
Why are the developers taking weeks, months, in fact years to address this?

I'm not in a decision making team so I won't be able to comment on when or if this will be implemented Claire.
On the bright side, I found the following feature request in our 'Share an Idea' section:
You might want to take a look and upvote it too :wink:
