I've had the exact same issue for years too.  All notification settings are set correctly in the dropbox app, and macos has notifications turned on for dropbox, but no notifications ever appear.

 

This broke with either a dropbox or macos update, as this is the same laptop I've been using since 2019, and this use to work!
