Dropbox symbol has a red square box

Hi there The Dropbox symbol shows a red square and I cant find a description. What does that mean? Dropbox says "alles auf dem neuesten Stand"  (ie. all actualized) Thanks, André

Thanks for letting us know, anonymous.

 

What do you see when you hover over the Dropbox icon there? Do you see any error messages?

 It had a  '2' in the box earlier, but changed to a blank red box. And now again has a '2' in it.

 

Assumed it must be number of notifications, but don't see any.

    Hi anonymous, could you try signing out of the app, and then back in please?

    Makes no difference. Red square with2 inside still there. Doesn't bother me. I presume someone at Dropbox should be able to help you. But I can't.
