    Hey 04052018,

     

    Thanks for the additional info - much appreciated.

     

    Even though this is not within my scope of expertise since this is clearly an Apple thing,  I was able to find this for you.

     

    To disable the Red Badge Alerts on Dock Icons in Mac OS X, you can open System Preferences from the  Apple menu and choose “Notifications” . Then, choose the app from the left side, then uncheck the box next to “Badge app icon”. 
     
    I hope this helps and keep in mind that you'd need to contact Apple for further resolution since this is not related to Dropbox in any way.

Hi there,

It's not the Dropbox badge I'm referring to. I'm referring to the red circle notification (called "badge app icon") in the menu bar on a Mac.

    Hi there, 

     

    I assumed it was an Apple thing, but since I already have "Badge App Icon" unchecked (in the original post I mentioned ALL notifs are unchecked) I thought it may be a Dropbox issue for whatever reason. 

     

    Thank you for the response!
