How to Turn Off Dropbox Notifications?

There are two ways to turn off notifications on Dropbox. The simplest way to disable notifications on Dropbox is from their app or website settings. You can also turn it off by default device settings.

Through App/Website Notifications Settings

If you don’t want to disable all notifications but just a few that are bothering you, this method is for you. Here, you can choose to deselect only your preferred options. This method comes in handy when you still wish to receive a few notification alerts. This option, however, is not available in your iOS app.

On Website 

  1. Launch the Dropbox website.
  2. Sign in to your account.
  3. Next to the notifications icon, click on the Profile icon.
  4. Choose Settings.
    Choose-Settings-from-profile-icon
  5. Click on Notifications at the top menu.
  6. Under Alerts, unselect All boxes one by one to turn off notifications.
