    You can actually go to Settings, Select Notifications & Actions and then scroll down where the  Dropbox icon is shown and turn off the noticiation settings (Banners and Sounds)

     

    You can actually click on it and select what you want to have with Notifications

i actually went the old-skool way to kill the sound associated with that notification, which i think is what Kristin is asking about.  In theory that would turn off other notifications, but i wasn't aware of others using that sound, and if they did i'm glad i fixed them too!

to test you could change that sound to something REALLY distinctive, then notice when it is triggered. then change it to NONE if you want to get rid of it
