Hi there renatogdn, thanks for posting your question on the Forum, & welcome aboard! ⛵
 
Currently, this isn’t available as Mark mentioned, but I’m more than happy to pass your comments along to the dev team. However, I would recommend checking out how to stop notifications on macOS Sierra as a workaround, although it should stop all notifications. 
 
Let me know if you have any additional questions & I’ll make sure to get back to you as soon as possible. In the mean time, hope you have a wonderful day ahead! :innocent:

    Is there an ETA as to when this option will become available or it's not in the works?  It's really annoying me too.

    Well, I suggest you politely ask the team to find a way. Because if you don't, I will stop paying for Dropbox proffessional and go to one of your competitors. It is distracting enough that I have to turn Dropbox off while I'm working, and I am sure you can see the problem with that?

    Seriously, what user interface designer has a sections called 'Notifications' in which there are items called "New files synced" and "Opened files and folders", and then makes them not work.

    I'd love this to stop on my desktop and laptop as well! Please post if changes are made. Thank you.

      Hey there per02! 

       

      I will pass your comments along our dev team for consideration - thanks for this feedback.

       

      In the meantime note that you could probably tackle this by adding more space to your account through referrals bonuses or other promotions or moving files that don't need to sync out of your Dropbox folder. The other way would be to upgrade your account or leaving any shared folders that put you close to your account's overall quota.  

       

      I know it's not much but I sure hope this helps. Thanks for using Dropbox!

        If I had known that DropBox would be this annoying, I would never have used it!  Now I would never even consider upgrading!
