You can actually go to Settings, Select Notifications & Actions and then scroll down where the  Dropbox icon is shown and turn off the noticiation settings (Banners and Sounds)

You can actually click on it and select what you want to have with Notifications

I am wondering this as well. I still want to see the notification, but I want to turn it's sound off without muting my computer.

The same thing is happening to me. Dropbox will give me a notification sound, but I can't get it to stop the sound. I still want to be notified. I'm having to mute my computer also.

I went into Windows Sounds and located the "Notification" sound, then turned it to none

Would that turn off notifications for things though other than my Dropbox?

"Would that turn off notifications for things though other than my Dropbox?"

I just tried this, and you can turn off the sound just for Dropbox notifications if you like:   
From the Action Centre, click "All Settings" --> "System" --> "Notifications & Actions"
Scroll down until you see Dropbox, click on it and turn off "Play a Sound when a notification arrives".  ðŸ˜„

i actually went the old-skool way to kill the sound associated with that notification, which i think is what Kristin is asking about.  In theory that would turn off other notifications, but i wasn't aware of others using that sound, and if they did i'm glad i fixed them too!

to test you could change that sound to something REALLY distinctive, then notice when it is triggered. then change it to NONE if you want to get rid of it
