But this doesn't work for my case.
I have DB on my laptop and then on my Iphone. The only files
I have are shared only between my 2 devices. I seldom make any
changes to any of those files so I shouldn't be getting these
very annoying popups.

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.

about every half hour, another person reported about 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

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?

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.

Has anyone looked through
options in Dropbox to see if anything is

the system tray. I almost never use
DropBox, though I have it, and I usually

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
