3 years agoWhat is the behavior you've been seeing so far regarding this, Kai? Have you been getting notifications on what's changing on the app each time it updates?

like is said. no notifications regarding updates. but about changes of content.
notifications are all turned on.

In general, the Dropbox desktop application would update silently in the background in order to ensure the app functions correctly with new updates and changes.

so dropbox does not notify me if an update is being made?
can i still somehow do updates manually? i don't like it at all when apps update without me knowing... - Jay3 years ago

Currently, there isn't a method to prevent the app from updating automatically, to switch it to manual updating, at this time.
