You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Notifications about beta
How many times do I have to click "no thanks" before Dropbox stops asking me to try the beta by adding a huge red bubble to my menu bar icon?
so I had this problem until about now and resolved it with the help of support chat, so thought I'd post it here, 'cause ppl are still posting in this thread.
if you still has this issue and haven't resolved it first of all check your version (you can find it in preferences or just hovering over the icon in menu), if it's something like 173.3.6706 then you already running beta, the .3 tells it, stable has .4 in the version. if so, go to your general settings on the site (https://www.dropbox.com/account/general) find 'Early releases' section, turn it off.
after that quit your app, redownload stable from the site, reinstall, wait a minute (if you didn't turn off the option it's gonna update itself to beta and restart), check again that you're running .4 in the version.
everything should be fine now.
still don't know if I turned this option somehow a while ago or it was on by default.

Maybe I had the preview for the Apple M1 support? I followed the steps; time will tell if this works.
This solved the issue with the endlessly recurring notification badge. Today, however, a new notification appeared prompting me to update to the new version. I do not want to update and the document linked below specifically says:
"Note: While we recommend opting-in to the latest version of Dropbox for macOS, this migration isn’t required for you to continue using Dropbox."
The notification apparently cannot be dismissed.
Please fix this—allow the notification to be permanently dismissed (or make a clear statement that all users must update to continue using Dropbox.)

OK, I followed the instructions and a week later, it's still showing me the worthless Beta notifications.
