How to enable Dropbox desktop notifications on MacBook Air?

When I save files on Dropbox, the icon in the menu bar on the MacBook does show that there is activity.

I do have Settings>Allow Notifications for Dropbox enabled to show 'Alerts'.

The problem is that I would like to see the larger 'Alerts' on Mac displayed but I'm only getting the small icon on the menu bar activity alert.

Please can someone advise me?  

Thank you in advance.

    Hey User34​, welcome to our Community! 

    Would you mind clarifying what you mean by "larger alerts"? 

    How about your desktop app notifications? How are these set up? If you wish, you can send me a screenshot of your app's preferences, and the alerts you can see at the moment, in order for me to have a visual too.

    Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
