Hi, I know that a lot of people are annoyed by constant barrage of notification banners, but i face the reverse problem. I don't see dropbox notifications on my mac (its been so for a couple of years now, but i need this fixed now). I work on a lot of collaborative projects, so tese alerts are one way to nudge me to the folders that need my attention. 

Notifications banners on my mac for my mail, calendar work just fine. i have checked notification preferences on the dropbox badge in the menu bar, on website, i have allowed for notifications from Dropbox when i am in do not disturb mode etc.  My work around has been to manually go to the dropbox icon on the menu bar and check for activity on shared folders. I am on MacSonoma v14.5,

Hi @quale, as you're still experiencing this issue, I'd recommend contacting the support team directly for them to investigate this in more detail on their end.
