i need to know how to clear the notification panel. i got sum notification which i need to clear from panel. pls help
Hi Cassandra M, Because of the way OS10 is built to support different features and calculate space used on the disk, Dropbox's solution does not work for everyone's OS10. Working around that requires extensive code for OS10 support. This is an example of two large companies with competing products which can result in mutually exclusionary S/W strategies.
Deleted notifications, all 5 or 6 years old, keep reappearing on the several Macs I run. I have used the elipsis removal process, described above, on 3 macs, each running different Mac operating systems (El Capitan, High Sierra and Catalina). So there must me some old buggaboo still present? Not a big deal; just curious how to correct if anyone knows. I suspect the macs are syncronizing from one another and not picking up on any of the delete markers. Perhaps I can defeat the notifications finally by turning off sync on all three macs, deleting/removing on each mac, then turning sync back on? I suppose I can give that a try someday.
Happy New Year 2020!
Every time I delete a notification it comes right back. Given that they cannot or are unwilling to solve this I think the best solution is to stop using Dropbox.
It's getting pretty irritating. 7 year old messages that can be "dismissed" but keep coming back as if they are snoozed. Actions like "accept / reject" sharing a folder that do not work because the folder in question no longer exists.
I have just had to face it. Dropbox is no longer a service for users. It has become a money-making mechanism for accountants, investors and venture capitalists who will likely milk the company for all it can by getting rid of the real talent and letting hacks and marketers try to pimp it up to maximize values. Capitalists will than dump the company, screwing the investors and move on to the next good thing to ruin.
Get out while you can.
Hi, what if i have 123 notifications i need to clear .... how do i clear then all at once ...and not one by one ? there must be a way..... i dont have time to sit here, right click, dismiss, next next, next ..
Adding my two cents that this is annoying and it feels absurd that it hasn't been addressed yet.
Hello from March 2020. I can confirm that this still hasn't been addressed and I've still got notifications from 2013 when my old boss left and removed her shared folders which I just had to remove one by one. Again. *sigh*
Still No Fix. I am using the desktop app and I have to go through each notification one by one on the dropbox app and "dissmiss notification". Amazing this hasn't been added.
I received many files via a file requests...I've turned notifications off now, but I have about 200 notifications clogging up my Dropbox menu. Why, oh why is there not a way to DISMISS ALL NOTIFICATIONS ? This can't be that difficult. I know what they all say. I don't want to look through and dismiss each and every one of them one at a time.
