Hi Walter,

iOS: Ventura 13.0.1
Dropbox: v167.4.4719

 

If syncing is paused, the mentioned behavior is not observed: the Dropbox folder does not bounce. As soon as I resume syncing, the bouncing comes back.

Thanks for your help

I've had this same problem when using 2Do, and it's very distracting. So far, turning off all notifications for Dropbox in my system settings and in the Dropbox preferences (even notifications for things that seem unrelated, like @mentions) seems to have solved it.
