Settings and Preferences
The Dropbox Community is here to help if you have questions about your account settings and preferences. Learn and share advice with members.
I don't want dropbox to tell me I just copied I file. I know I did, because I just told it to.
How do I disable that? I've already gone to Windows' Action Center and disabled Dropbox' icon and notifications there, I disabled every notification in preferences->notifications for the PC program.
Yet I keep seeing them.
How do I get rid of this for good?

If you're unable to use the Windows 7 notification settings to suppress this, then there won't be a way to do it. There's no option to do so in Dropbox.

There is no option to disable that notification from within Dropbox. Disabling notifications for Dropbox in Notifications & Actions within Windows Settings will prevent it from showing (I just tested it).

Please add an option. The new notification is huge and disturbing. There's already a place to control the notifications "notify me about". Want to hear something funny? The "snooze" "Turn off notifications for a limited time" CAN disable this notification. So it's managed by the same engine (in other words, it's not different somehow because it's issued by the explorer integration rather than the daemon or whatever). Someone just forgot to pipe this notification through to the "notify me about" configuration.
PLEASE FIX THIS
Now this thing is stuck on my screen because it popped under my mouse cursor while I was working on something and I accidentally click-mashed it and confused it.
