I might have discovered a possible fix. Deleted the files as instructed in screenshot, emptied trash then restarted my mac and haven't had the problem or that pesky notification yet. 🤞

I can't get rid of this relentless notification.
"Dropbox" added items that can run in the background. you can manage this in the Login items settings."
I go to Login items and dropbox starts at login - fine. But the notification just won't got away. This is since the latest update. 168.4.4802 on Ventura 13.2.1
I get this several times per work session. I've turned 'notifications' off for dropbox too.
I'd like to return to the previous version please -- this version is terrible. Dropbox customer for nearly 10 years.

Hey jamesatkins, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
It's not actually possible or supported to go back to a previous version of the Dropbox app, but we do appreciate your feedback.
What's the app's current syncing status, if you hover over the Dropbox icon?
Let me know and we'll go from there.
