Hi lanola, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

If you're not on a Dropbox Basic plan with more than 3 devices connected, could you try uninstalling the app, rebooting the device, and re-installing it to see if this helps?


Keep me updated with any progress!

    Thanks Jay.

    I just tried what you suggested and de-installed the app from the iphone, re-installed it and logged in. The alert comes back instantly.

    I also check https://www.dropbox.com/share/folders but I can't see the shared folder there.

    Any other ideas?

      If you tap the notification bell in the app, do you see this notification appear there?

        Nope, I see "You have no notifications". I also don't get the notification on the web app.
