Team member doesn't get notified when someone else is editing a file

I have a team member who does not get the automated DROPBOX message when others are in a file.  This is a problem, and the main reason I changed my membership, as we can't have multiple people working on the same file-- we lose information.  Is this a setting or something she needs to set-up?

    Hi there!

    My name is Alice and I'm a product manager working on notifications at Dropbox. We would love to chat with you more on this topic because we think your experience can help us improve notifications at Dropbox. We are hoping to schedule a 30-minute video session via Zoom video-conferencing next week! If you’re interested in speaking with our team, take our short survey so we can learn a bit more about you. A member of our team will review your answers and contact you directly if you’re a fit for our study.
     
    If you are selected, you will receive a $50 virtual gift card of choice (Amazon, Bank Deposit, Charity donation, etc.) upon completion as a thank you for their time.
     
    Please note, space is limited and not everyone who applies will be selected.

    Hi there, @LocalParti, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Just to clarify, are you referring to the Dropbox Badge that appears on MS Office files or to the file locking feature?

     

    Any additional info you can give me, would be really helpful.

     

    Thanks.
