How can I turn the sound off on notifications?
How do I silence the sound for syncing notifications?
You can actually go to Settings, Select Notifications & Actions and then scroll down where the Dropbox icon is shown and turn off the noticiation settings (Banners and Sounds)
You can actually click on it and select what you want to have with Notifications
I used Yvonne C's method, but on my computer, it didn't work exactly as she wrote:
I clicked Settings - System - Notifications & Actions, and scrolled down to 'Dropbox', en there, I could set all notifications to 'on' or 'off'. So it's the same as the setting in the Dropbox app itself: no sound means no notifications at all....
I want a notification, but not sound! Please, Dropbox-developers, help us out!
:-)
I found YvoneC's method to be just what I wanted. ALL dropbox notifications off! The sound for annoying reasons. The BIG Bar that floats across my lower right screen off because otherwise it blocks me seeing things I'm actually trying to work on whether I'm on dropbox or not.
However will "off" also stop me seeing the LITTLE icon that shows info about different versions of a document that I've deliberately opened IN DROPBOX?
The official D'box instructions to right click the Tray Icon does not produce the "preferences" option -which would be easier if it was true!
Go to Settings >System > Notifications & Actions, scrolled down and clicked the 'Dropbox' icon, then set “Play a sound when notification arrives” to “Off”
it worked, thanks!
On Windows 10 you can go to Notifications & Actions (type it in the search field in at the Start button). Scroll down to Dropbox and click on it. You can then turn off the sound and leave the other type notification on.
This does not work. I've followed your instructions to the tee and Windows 10 still plays the chime when files are changed/synced. Here's a screenshot showing both dropboxes are disabled. But I still hear that stupid chime.

Then you have a problem with Windows 10. I can confirm that setting Dropbox notifications to Off on that screen does infact disable notifications completely. You can also just click Dropbox on that screen (instead of clicking the on/off switch) and further customize the notifications so that sounds are disabled but the notification still appears.
These are all settings within the Notifications screen in Windows 10.
