A badge with number '1' in my macOS Dropbox icon

I updated my Dropbox in macOS 4 times now but still have a number '1' in a badge on the icon. What can I do about that?

    Hi imatch, and welcome to the forum. 

     

    Are you perhaps referring to the unread notifications icon that’s mentioned at the bottom of this Help Center article?

     

    If that’s not it, please feel free to send me a screenshot of what you see, and I’ll have a look for you. 

     

    Keep me updated!

      So far I tried everything you proposed, both via the MacOS icon as well as in my account. Without the badge '1' disappearing. Do you have any further suggestions?

        HI imatch, when you click the Dropbox icon, do you see any yellow messages in the various tabs of the app?

         

        A screenshot of this would help us greatly.
