How can I clear notifications
i need to know how to clear the notification panel. i got sum notification which i need to clear from panel. pls help
I agree with everyone else here … and Walter, you should know that since Dropbox 74 appeared (on the Mac, anyway) those "three dots" ARE GONE. I used to be able to delete / remove old notifications albeit tediously, one by one. There is now absolutely NO WAY WHATSOEVER to remove the dozens and dozens of years-old notifications that are now showing again in the Dropbox desktop menu on my Mac… notifications that are no longer relevant and in some cases bring back bad memories. Removing this ability is an unbelievably bad design choice for a service I'm paying $$$ for! PLEASE tell the UI team to give us the ability to, with ONE simple click, clear/remove all old notifications, please. Even Apple FACETIME has this!! (It's called "clear all recents") … this should not be a difficult thing to do.
I have also noticed a recent change, slightly for the better. I can now "read" all notifications with one click and move them to the "read" comment section.
However now there does not appear to be a way to hide them at all.
I will guess this is an indication that our concerns have been heard and this is a work in progress. I sincerely hope this is not the end result.
So for the record I will complain that this fix is not enough and thank Walter for being the best moderator ever, in this universe, in my experience.
Also for all the other complainers that think this is an easy task to code, please think again. Writing foolproof simple code for an almost infinite variety of devices is never easy. This problem is not an indication that dropbox is broken, we just do not like what they have done with this feature which does not degrade the primary purpose of dropbox, in my opinion. As oppose to smart sync which does. That is another thread but it does mean that the programmers attentions are probably focused elsewhere.
