Okay, I guess the first question is: how do I know if I have the latest version of dropbox? Would I get an update notification?
I do have desktop notifications checked and I do get notified of changes on my Mac running Mountain Lion but the notification is just announced and doesn't interfere with anything I am doing. And it doesn't appear anywhere in the notifications list in system preferences. Dropbox also appears in my extras menu and I can check for changes there if I've missed anything. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
