Hey @SURINDERVERMA, thanks for reaching out and happy Friday!

Are you sure that you checked all the notification tabs on the Dropbox icon? Perhaps there's one you missed.

Can you also hover your mouse over the Dropbox icon, for the sync status of the Dropbox app and to check if there are any syncing issues?

Let me know what you find.

I had checked all notifications for sure - it shows "all quiet for now". There is no syncing issue, All files are up to date. I have 4Gb of space left on my dropbox.

Hey @SURINDERVERMA - sorry to jump in here.

Could you try un-linking and re-linking your account through the app's preferences?

Let us know how it goes!

You should make clear that the process of relinking may take days!

Did you get a resolution for this.  I have the exact same problem.

@colinmathew, can you please clarify the OS version of your device, as well as the syncing status and app version of the Dropbox app on it? 

 

Also, if you’ve taken any troubleshooting steps so far, can you clarify what these are?

Had this happening and was driving me mad but...  do you have more than one dropbox account linked together?  Like business and personal?  For me it was a notification on my business account which I don't even use.  Once I cleared that we were all good

 

Hope that helps!
