    Thanks for the screenshot, T-squared!

     

    I can see a "not now" option in the yellow notification there; can you click it and let us know if it helps?

Hi Walter

Many thanks for your resonse.

Now the icon is enlarged I can see it's not an exclamation mark, it's a figure "1".

    Thanks for the screenshot T-squared 

     

    Have you tried clicking on the  "not now/ show me how/ maybe later" option on the top banner of the app window when you click the app's icon to check your notifications?

      Sorry, walter, I can't see ther "not now/ show me how/ maybe later" options you mention anywhere.

      I've checked the Notifications and there are currently none.  DB tells me it's "up to date"

      Thanks again,

      TonyT

        Hey T-squared, would you mind clicking on the Dropbox icon once again and then sending me a screenshot of the window that pops up?
