Getting notifications about online-only files, with Google Drive/OneDrive active

Hi Bill_Richards, the sync icons shown aren't actually from Dropbox. The green tick with an underscore is actually a Google Drive icon. 

Is it possible that you also have that program running on your machine at the same time? Is it trying to sync the Dropbox folder?

Unfortunately still same, after even restarting the pc.

Thanks for the clarification nickpap 

Could you try updating to the latest version directly from this page and let me know if you notice any difference? 

I don't recall using the  Dropbox backup feature

When you say out of the Dropbox folder, could it be that you're referring to files that you've backed up to Dropbox using the Dropbox backup feature perhaps nickpap ? 

Hi Walter.

I just rebooted, no dif.

I don't know what files are causing this issue. You mean to move all the files out of dropbox?

But the issue is caused from some files out of the dropbox folder

Hi there nickpap - sorry to hear about this.

Could you send us a screenshot of the app's exact status and version of the desktop app as shown in your system tray?

Also, have you tried rebooting your computer or moving your files out of the Dropbox folder and back in again to see if that improves matters?

I have the same very annoying issue suddenly, windows 10. How did you resolve it?

I just powered my PC back on and Dropbox is beeping at me every 30 seconds, but there is no notification in the Task Bar so I cannot select the “Go to notification settings” option.  If I right-click on the Dropbox icon in the Taskbar and select Preferences/Notifications, I see this:

Thanks for the screenshot! I‘d like you to ’click on the “Go to notification settings” option and disable the notifications for your desktop app. After that, please restart your computer and re-enable them. Does that make a difference?
