Thank you. I did notice yesterday that I had Windows notifications turned off, so I turned that on and am getting notifications of them being added in my Windows notification sidebar. So that's a workable solution. Just odd that the notifications within the Dropbox app are still from a month ago. 🤔

Just a quick comment on this. What you're seeing there is a digest. It's a once-weekly email notification showing the share activity from the previous week.

Hi BriGuyOSC,
Just a quick follow up.
Did turning on Windows notifications do the trick for you?
Let us know if there’s anything else you need help with.
