There are no three dots showing up on the notification. see screenshot.

Can you please help me.s.jpgs.jpg.

Changes were made that dropped the dots.  We have to keep lobbying for a feature that would be no notices older than  x months, or somesuch.

you rick for you reply. that was helpful.

In the interim what can I do to remove those notifications?

All you can do 😞  is to create more new notifications until the old ones pop off the bottom of the screen. I suspect they cannot be removed, so I just ask for a feature that would hide old ones.

Yup, mine looks like that too. Today I got a "notification" from Dropbox to join a team - except that they're all people I've never heard of, and I can't get rid of the notification. I used to be an analyst/programmer so I can say with some confidence that this is lousy programming.

This is ridiculous. I know of no other system that does not let you clear notifications.  Some of mine have no menu [...], and if they do, there is no remove. I have ones from Dropbox that are three years old. I'm running Windows 10 Pro. 

You should be able hide acknowledged notifications, search and select notifications, delete or acknowlege selected notifications.Annotation 2019-09-05 095622.png

Dropbox doesn't comment on what features may be planned, or their ETA.

Hi @Rich,

Thanks for your reply. Honestly I hoped that it was a more customer oriented one. My question is why, and as you can read in this thread I'm not the only one, this simple functionality is not implemented?

I believe that Dropbox does not want to frustrate their paying users (I am one of them) by not implementing a simple function as this.

Need more support?
