    Hey ksl0588, can you check the Dropbox application's version and sync status, please?

     

    You can see this info, when hovering over your Dropbox icon.

    Thanks for that, ksl0588!

     

    Can you also please double-check that you've enabled Accessibility for Dropbox in your Finder preferences?

    Hannah,

     

    Our company is having the same issue with the badge telling of other users not working.  Do you happen to remember the resolution to this problem?
