How to disable annoying "Upload Complete" pop-up
I have multiple Dropbox accounts for several different clients, and as such, I must use the Dropbox website for uploading and downloading files I share for one of my clients. When I want to add my files to a Dropbox folder via the website, I always get a pop-up box with a confirmation that my upload has completed. This pop-up box is very annoying. It takes up a lot of space in the lower left corner of my screen, and the only way to get rid of it is to close it by clicking the "X." I upload files all day long and this confirmation pops up every single time. This requires a lot of extra clicking so that I can uncover and see pertinent information on my screen.
Question - is there any way to disable this notification, or at the very least change it so that it pops up but disappears on its own after a second or two?

No such options exist. There's no way to disable or change that notification.

Two years later and this is driving me crazy!
They can at least make it disappear after 2 seconds. SMT! - Mary H.184 months agoHelpful | Level 5
Extremely annoying, I absolutely agree. On all other computer apps, I only allow critical messages requiring my intervention to display notifications, not routine tasks like this. If I have delegated a task, especially a routine one, to either a human or to a computer, I expect it to be done without giving me an update every time it is complete. PLEASE FIX THIS DROPBOX!!
