In first of all sorry for my english and excuse me for a possible mistake. I'll write then also in italian, my language, hoping someone of you can understand me.

From about 5/7 days the dropbox icon appears with a little red "1". The "1" is over the icon. I'd look for, thinking it would be an error, something notice into my remote dropbox or in the dropbox website without find anything . What's is? Someone of you can help me? Thanks for the attention.

 

Da qualche giorno l'icona di dropobox appare con un "1" rosso. Ho cercato sia in locale che in remoto qualche notifica e/o indicazione senza trovare nulla. Qualcuno sa dirmi cosa è? Grazie per l'attenzione,

Flavio

You have a notification. Single-click the icon to open the Dropbox window, then go to the Notifications tab.
