Getting notifications about online-only files, with Google Drive/OneDrive active
I have a regular DropBox account that I've been using for many years. This afternoon, it suddenly started giving my this very same notification every 30 seconds or so. It doesn't tell me which file...

Belay that - the problem resurfaced again this afternoon even though I haven't made any changes to any files in my Dropbox. Sigh...

Bill_Richards The issue came up unexpectedly for me again as well. No PC shutdown/restart, so I don't know what triggered it. The temp fix I posted still works.
Walter A number of us have already reported that stopping one of the two cloud services will stop the notifications. I posted a detailed approach to figuring out my temporary solution, and narrowed down the problem to some troublesome files. Disabling one of the cloud services, or keeping them separate from each other, is not a "solution" when it hasn't been a problem for years.
