The default notification settings on this forum should be set to "Never".
This should be set to never by default. It is not URGENT to get notifications about badges. It's just not. I do not care and I would assume most people just tryingto get answers to their quetions do not care either. For those that do care, they should opt in. Otherwise this is just spammy in my inbox. Thanks.46Views0likes1Comment
Getting low space notifications when I have plenty of space
I am getting extremely tired of getting "You're running out of space!" notifications. I'm not running out of space. I have more than 1GB free. If these don't stop, I think I'll just move everything to iCloud Drive and delete Dropbox.Solved393Views0likes12Comments
How do I end "Background items Added" notification and/or process?

Constant notifications to update desktop app on Windows.
I am getting frequent notifications to update my Windows desktop Dropbox app, requesting permission to make changes to my system. It doesn't matter whether I respond yes or no, nothing happens after that. It just keeps happening over and over again.Solved18KViews5likes10Comments
Turn off Dropbox Transfer notifications and emails
Hello, I am sick of the torrent of emails and red badges reminding me that I just created a transfer, someone downloaded the transfer I sent them to download, or the transfer is expiring etc. I want to turn off all of these emails with a toggle in the app. The numerous other posts and requests about this issue (dating back to the late 2010's) have gone unresolved, so I'm adding my voice here. Please prioritize fixing this problem! Or hire me to come and add the code in your backend real quick! Pleeeeease 🙏875Views0likes9Comments

Downgrading from Dropbox Plus to Dropbox Basic, will the shared folders be deleted?
My Dropbox plan downgraded from 2TB to 2GB. My uploaded files are 300GB, and I understand that new file uploads are impossible, but existing files won't be deleted. Instead,I'm getting a notification that files may be deleted. Even if my plan is lower, won't the files in shared folders provided by others be deleted?Solved163Views0likes4Comments
I'm being asked to update my desktop app to the latest version, but the update fails.
Application Affected (Dropbox Desktop for Windows) Device (ASUS core i9 13900K with 32GB RAM) Operating System/Browser (if using the web) (Windows 11 24H2 build 26100.6584) Dropbox App Version (if using the app) (Uninstalled and trying to install latest app) Question or Issue I had been getting an update to latest version prompt. When I click on install, it downloads DropboxInstaller.exe. I double click to install and it gets to a screen that shows "On your marks..." It then hangs at that point and does nothing. I waited a couple of hours and then restarted the computer. Ran the app again and still nothing. I uninstalled the desktop app, restarted the computer and tried running the installer again. No luck. I rebooted, went back to download the software and ran it again. Stil nothing.292Views0likes10Comments
