Well, since Catalina MacOS has two APFS volumes for the system disk, one that 
is read only and has the operating system essential components and another that 
has data that will change.
Actually, looking at disk utility the volume that does not have “data” in the 
name has a snapshot in it so it could be that I am backward.
But MacOs does some auto mount magic to merge the readonly Applications folder 
with the editable Applications folder.
I have seen system messages like that from drop box in the past.  Are you using 
drop box? If so, then you can turn off drop box notifications, but I don’t 
remember exactly how.

                Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn
