Hey rupertbear, thanks for checking in with us!

Although users will directly get an email invitation to the shared folder, they don't generally receive daily notifications about changes made to it.

However, each user can set to receive notifications in their account for shared content that they are a part of. 

You can find more info about desktop and mobile notifications here and email notifications here. 

Let me know if you have any other questions!
