How can I clear Dropbox notifications?
I have two questions:
1. How can I clear Dropbox notifications? I am using the latest version of Dropbox on my iPhone 10 (it was updated recently). The Dropbox app keeps show a "2" on the notifications icon in the upper right of the Home screen. When I tap on that it shows 6 unread notifications. When I tap on any of the notifications, nothing happens.
2. How do I find out the version number of my Dropbox app?
Thank you

I’m having a similar issue, with a twist: the alert icon shows a “1” in a red circle, and when I go to the home page, I see a “1” on the home icon and “1” over the bell icon at the top of the page. When I click on the bell, it shows two unread notices (though I’ve read them many times). I can’t clear them. I can’t expand them. I can’t delete them. What a pain. Please help.

Hey JB2023, can you check your emails again? Megan has already reached out to you, so you should be seeing an email from her.
You can also check your spam/junk folder in case it went there.

Having this issue with iOS 16.3.1, app version 320.3. Marking all notifications as read does nothing, opening individual notifications did not work, and clearing cache did not solve the problem. Previous replies indicate that signing out/in and reinstalling the app may work, but will reset some settings such as passcodes and camera upload. I've spent quite some time personalising those options and I do not want to go through the hassle of setting up these again when it is evidently a bug. Looking forward to this being fixed in the next version.

Hi areader, we do recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the Dropbox mobile app as a first step to check if there is some form of conflict preventing the notifications from being removed. I've merged your post to an appropriate thread.

iPad notifications won’t go away. Can’t clear them, can’t mark them Read, badge won’t clear. Tapping some of them opens the camera (!)
I went to Safari Dropbox site to find a solution. That site is too much! Pop ups galore, the Cookies Accept All box won’t close no matter how many times I tap X. What is up. - Hannah3 years ago

Sorry to see you're having this issue, Alan S.
Can you open the Dropbox app, tap on "account", then on the gear icon and then on "clear cache", to see if that helps.
We'd also recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the app as well.
Keep us updated.
