Sync Status Notification
Hi I am wondering if someone can help me turn off a notification that comes onto my screen (sometimes on the bottom of the screen, sometimes right in the middle). It is continuous throughout the day...

Thanks Andrew
It is definitely a clash between OneDrive and Dropbox. However, OneDrive said it's Dropbox so it is difficult to resolve. Thanks for your help - I will have another look at the OneDrive settings.

Just wondering how OneDrive is involved here. I imagine OneDrive syncs the files in its own folder, while Dropbox has its own separate folder. Is there any overlap between the two or some other software that could be moving files out of the Dropbox folder?
Another place I would look at is the https://dropbox.com/events page or the sync log/activity in the Desktop app that shows up when you click the Dropbox tray icon, to at least know which files are being moved out of Dropbox. A log entry indicating those files being removed from Dropbox could provide a clue.
Thanks,

I suspect it's OneDrive, because it only happens when OneDrive is running.
