    Hi everyone, I have an update for you!
     
    This is now considered to be expected behavior in the latest version of the Dropbox desktop application. It allows you to have settings for two different type of notification styles for Dropbox. 
     
    You can allow Alerts, which are persistent notifications for critical updates from the Dropbox desktop app, and Banners, which are quick notifications about updates to Dropbox files etc.
     
    While I can’t speak for Chrome, or any other apps that have two notifications in that tab, I imagine it’ll be for the same purpose, though you can check with them for more info.
     
    Hopefully this should clarify matters for you all!

There should be a difference between the two notifications. I’ll forward this feedback to our dev team for their awareness of this matter.
