The red notification showing on the icon isn't going away
Hi
Has anyone else experienced red icon badge showing as one unread notification even after all notifications read and then deleted. Can't seem to get rid of it no matter what I try. Thank you.

Wow! That worked for me too. It was merely a matter of clicking on "show me how" I did nothing other than click on that under Sync History and Activity. Who would have ever thought that was the answer. Yes, the red notification badge is gone! Dropbox needs to be more clear about what the "notification" is. Thank you Jayne for discovering the fix.

Hi JayneK, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
What OS and Dropbox desktop application version are you running on your machine?
A screenshot showing the notification would help greatly.
This will help me to assist further!

Hi Jay The red notification badge has gone now. I did click Sync history and Activity and this might have got rid of it? Thank you.
