Dropbox StaffSorry about the delay! The changes in this build are as follows:
What changed in how Dropbox does macOS notifications? Now I'm seeing an endless series of update notificaitons, even after the files are supposedly all in sync. It is showing new notifications for files that were updated DAYS ago.
ZavHi Michael. I'm an engineer at Dropbox trying to get you an answer--could you let us know which update notifications you're seeing exactly? A screenshot would be most helpful.
It was the Dropbox macOS notifications for a) a file has changed (or something to that effect) and b) x files have changed. I can't give more details because the notifications are gone, and I can't recreate. Dropbox has updated on both machines to the next stable build, 55.4.171.
Right now the Dropbox Notifications tab has everything checked, which is: @mentions, comments on files, tasks assigned to me, files and folders shard with me, opened files and folders, new files synced, edits to files. The notifications I was seeing were related to edits to files.
With the current stable build, I'm not seeing any macOS notifications. I tried creating a new file ("new files synced", I presume) and changing a file ("edits to files"). No notification was produced.
With build 54.4.90, it acted like it was only doing about one notification per second, so even though there were a bunch of changes, they continued long past when Dropbox finished synching. It either should have produced the notifications more quickly, or coalescesed them more aggresively into the "x files have changed" notification.
And, it appeared that there was something going on related to past updates. That is, the file actually synced the previous day, but I didn't get the notify until I woke the screen up.
So now I'm not sure where we are. Was there a problem in 54.4.90 that was fixed in the current build? Or does the current build have its own problem, since now there are no notifications?
