It is true that notifications pop up when changes are made to
shared files and folders. I have shared folder accounts with at
least three blind music making related communities, so files and
folders get deleted or added quite frequently. Cheerers.

every hour. I doubt there is any general rule about how often
they come up.
The following may have a useful
suggestion but my understanding of just what is occurring may
not be correct. But whatever is done about this unreadable
window problem, my suggestion about how such information is
displayed may be useful.
Probably what is needed is the
ability to turn such notifications completely off or alter it
in some sort of accessibility setting so the information can
be checked periodically by the blind person to see
announcements about what has changed without them being read
automatically. I expect this can be done. The information
could be displayed in the system tray so a blind person can go
to it and read it without a help balloon or a toast
announcement being generated. Information can change
constantly if desired in the system tray without a
screen-reader reading it if it just changes. This should be
an accessibility setting that can be turned on in
preferences. Should it be on by default when a screen-reader
is detected? I'll leave that for others to discuss.
I think it is important for
entities to develop a unified position on this feature and
whether it should be on automatically when a screen-reader is
detected. In general, as things are, those who are
complaining are just complaining about removing the wwindow.
But that doesn't address
the underlying problem, making the information available and
not intruding on screen-reader use.

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?

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.

Would simply disabling it from Startup stop these invisible
Dropbox windows from popping up?, or would the notifications
also need to be turned off?

it certainly is, and until you turn off drop box, though
you might like to know if a friend or colleague sends you

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.

anyone looked through options in Dropbox to

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.

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
