I keep seeing a red exclamation flag on the Dropbox icon.

Why do I always see a red exclamation point on my Dropbox icon, but when I go online, there's no red icon, and no problems flagged? It's very annoying.

Hi Robert T.30 

I actually dont think thats an ! its a notification (1).

 

I had a similar issue on a mac that it just wouldn't go away. Its worth clicking on the bell icon though and seeing if anything is in that 🙂

I assume Dropbox is too perfect a company to acknowledge their bugs? Let alone fix them?
