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?
- Rick_M7 years agoExperienced | Level 13
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. - dvmierlo7 years agoHelpful | Level 6

Dropbox doesn't comment on what features may be planned, or their ETA.

Hi Rich,
Thanks for your reply. Honestly I hoped that it was a more customer oriented one. My question is why, and as you can read in this thread I'm not the only one, this simple functionality is not implemented?
I believe that Dropbox does not want to frustrate their paying users (I am one of them) by not implementing a simple function as this.

The Notifcation Bug -- notifcations going back many years and no ability to delete/clear list -- still NOT fixed as of Dropbox desktop version: v84.3.145 on October 17, 2019.
