How can I delete an invite to an unknown user's shared file?

I recived an invitation to see a dropbox file from a to me unknown sender - how do I remove the message? (in order to not unintentionally clicking on the file)

    Thanks for that, Konge! I’m afraid that these notifications can’t be removed from your account. 

     

    I can most definitely pass this on as feedback though, since I understand your security concern.

    Thanks Nancy - an option for deleting messages would be nice 🙂 And maybe also an option for reporting (mis)users?

      If you've also received an email notification, you can forward it to abuse@dropbox.com or you can report it with this form.

      No problem, Konge! I’ve passed your feedback already to our team. You can also try Rich’s suggestion in the meantime and report this.
