Hi. I didn't find anything in the dropbox options menu to stop
notifications, which I find especially annoying as i am a paying
customer. ☹.

It isn't clear to me if this
discussion is relevant.
But the message that talks about
possibly stopping all notifications may be helpful. Each
comment is preceded by a line with the word menu. Searching
for this word will efficiently get you from one answer to the
next. A lot of people are disgusted by these notifications
and Dropbox will have to address the problem, as you will see.
I didn't find anything about
Snooze notifications by searching for snooze notifications
Dropbox.

When it opens it acts just like the tray, ie pressing space gives
a menu.
One of the options on the menu that I've never heard of is snooze
notifications. Could this be a new feature which uses inaccessible
display
routines. so we need somebody to go on the web site for us and
report this
problem in accessibility. Somebody on here must be sighted and
able to help
their web site is rather unfriendly so I have given up on the
thing going
around in circles.
If somebody can look at preferences who has a working preferences
system,
unlike my windows 7, could they look for this snooze function? It
seems you
can stop dropbox for some minutes hours or till the next day. Not
really
sure what on earth is the point in alerting people that its not
active when
the whole point of dropbox as it just does its thing. I can
understand it on
a portable app, where mobile data is a t a premium and you may
only want it
to update on wifi, but for goodness sake the mobile app is not an
off line
solution unless you pay for it on mobiles its basically just
looking at the
web site. These are two different use cases.
Seems crazy if this is what it is.
It would also explain why my people at the studio have been
having some
odd things going on on recordings if programs are shoving windows
up for no
apparent reason and mouse clickers close them and muck up the
recording in
the process.
Its been fine for years, if its not bust dont fix it.
