Dropbox StaffHi drb01, if the file is in a shared folder, then the Badge will only activate if another separate Dropbox account accesses and edits the same file.
Using the same Dropbox account on different PCs will not activate the Badge. Just for clarification, are you allowing other users to access your Dropbox account and credentials via another PC?
Yes I have multiple PCs and Android devices accessing the same Dropbox account with the same login. I thought that was the whole point of Dropbox!! So I am very surprised this badge thing doesn't work in that scenario. Is there a better way for multiple devices to access all the files in one Dropbox account?
