Dropbox badges can be frustrating, especially when they don't show up as expected.
To troubleshoot the issue, check your internet connection and ensure that your Dropbox account is active.
If you're still experiencing problems, try restarting your computer or device, as this can often resolve connectivity issues.
Dropbox badges are a great way to showcase your files and folders, but they can also be a source of frustration.
Dropbox Badge Issues
If you're experiencing issues with the Dropbox badge, you're not alone. Some users have reported that the badge is not showing in Office 365, even with an enterprise MS Office account and a Dropbox Business Account.
The Dropbox badge can be annoying, especially if you're getting a popup every time you open a document in MS Word on Mac. This popup will tell you about the Dropbox badge and you'll need to click "Hide" to get rid of it.
You may have to click "Hide" multiple times before the popup stops appearing, but there's no clear way to turn it off permanently through the Dropbox Help section.
Dropbox Badge Not Showing in Office 365
If you're using Office 365 ProPlus and Dropbox Business, you might be experiencing issues with the Dropbox badge not showing in Office products.
The Dropbox badge not showing in Office 365 can be frustrating, especially if you used to rely on it extensively.
This issue can occur even if your files are stored in your Business Dropbox folder, as one user discovered.
To get the badge working properly, you'll need to investigate the setup of your enterprise MS Office account and Dropbox Business Account.
Popup on Mac Word Doc Open
The Dropbox badge popup on Mac can be annoying. Every time you open a document in MS Word on Mac, you get a popup on the right side of the screen telling you about the wonderful new Dropbox badge.
Searching for how to disable this popup in Help gives no useful info, so you're not alone in your frustration. This popup is really turning people off on Dropbox.
To get rid of the popup, you need to click "Hide" each time, but that's not a long-term solution. You can't find any useful info on how to disable it in the Help section.
Dropbox Features
The Dropbox Badge collaboration feature lets users see who else is viewing or editing a Microsoft Office document.
This feature also allows users to check for a more recent version of the document and update it, and generate a link to share the document.
Almost 13,000 customers have already been using the Badge service under the early access programme that was launched in December.
This has helped them cut down on long email threads, multiple file versions, and having to jump from app to app.
The new commenting feature lets early access users comment on a sidebar within a shared file.
Users can also "@" mention the person with their email IDs so that the particular user gets a notification via email or mobile.
This commenting feature is limited to browser and iOS versions, and will soon be arriving on Android.
