Hi ! In answer to your question, Ron, the only time I get a Dropbox window I never used to get is just before my computer finishes booting, and it disappears in less than a minute, not coming back till the computer boots again. I don’t know whether it makes a difference that I’m on Windows 7, but I have never noticed any strange Dropbox windows appearing after my computer has finished booting. I am using Dropbox 68.4.102, which I assume is the latest version, as my Dropbox automatically updates on its own. Bye for now! From Clare

Subject: Re: [nvda] Invisible Dropbox pop-ups Hi Group, While this Drop Box issue is an annoyance, it goes away within a few minutes after system boot on my computer. Are others having the phantom windows stay visible indefinitely? On 3/12/2019 10:57 PM, Gene wrote: I'm sure if the program weren't running, you wouldn't get such notifications. But some people want the program to be constantly running and for those people this would be a problem. And even if you have the program run at boot up, you can close it in the system tray. ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2019 9:51 PM Subject: Re: [nvda] Invisible Dropbox pop-ups Would simply disabling it from Startup stop these invisible Dropbox windows from popping up?, or would the notifications also need to be turned off?

That is correct – it’s not a notification. It is a box that comes up over and over though. For me, this is not a notification. It looks exactly like the screen that comes up when I click the dropbox button in the system tray/user notifications area of windows 10.

However, I check notifications, which are in settings and the notification for Drop Box is uncheck.

These are, presumably, shown in the system tray. I almost never use DropBox, though I have it, and I usually don't have it running. I don't know if I have the latest version. But the first thing I would do is look through the options to see if anything is available. I may check later today but it might be better if someone checks who uses it regularly, and knows they have the problem version. Presumably, I either do or it would update if I leave it on. ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Monday, February 25, 2019 3:18 AM Subject: Re: [nvda] Invisible Dropbox pop-ups The whole thrust of it for us is that you can hear when new updates come in.

Is there any reason to have it running constantly? You can exit it and only
run it when you want to use it.

Hi all,
I'm running Dropbox v68.3.92. Approximately every half an hour or so,
NVDA's focus is being moved to a Dropbox window which only seems to
contain a single, blank edit field. The window doesn't seem to stay on
the screen, but focus isn't returned to where it was previously after it
disappears. In fact, NVDA reports it as taking up a rectangle of 0
pixels, so I don't know if anything shows up visually on the screen at all.
As you can imagine, having to dismiss these boxes several times per day
is irritating. Does anybody have a work-around?
Regards,
James Scholes
