It seems Dropbox notifications can be excessive, especially if default settings aren’t adjusted. By default, Dropbox often sends alerts for every access, edit, or comment on shared documents, which can lead to notification overload if not managed. This issue may be worsened by active collaboration or glitches in the app that cause duplicate alerts. To avoid this, try updating your notification preferences in Dropbox settings to limit alerts to only critical actions. If the problem persists, reaching out to Dropbox Support could help address any underlying issues or log it as feedback for improvement.
