I am also having this same issue. Noting I do will make it go away. You need to address this bug asap. I don’t want work arounds. I want a solution. I pay for this app so give me my money’s worth.

Having the same problem on my iPhone(iOS 16.3.1, app version 320.3) and my iPad(16.3.1/ 320.3). On the iPad, the stuck notification count is only inside the app. Cleared cache, won’t go away(not deleting and re-adding since I am a free user). But on the iPhone, the notification is on the phone’s Home Screen- really, really annoying and a distraction from *real* notifications.

Thanks Phcalc , that did it for me on both devices. I agree that it should be fixed though.

Just discovered something VERY nasty- signing out and then back in again resets the need for a passcode. If you signed out and back in again as a fix for the notifications, you may want to check your app settings and see if a password is still required. Or just click the Dropbox icon and see if you get the passcode prompt.
