Jay​ I posted a reply earlier, as the part which is still consuing me is "you'll see that desktop notification only if you're currently logged into that machine at the time."

If you're not signed in to the computer when the notification arrives, you won't see it. Notifications are not persistent. They pop up only while Dropbox is running, and disappear after a moment. If you're not using the computer at the time, you won't see it.
