Be able to view messages I sent when I shared a link via dropbox

How is it possible that I cannot view the message I sent along with the file that I shared with a team? I was just told by one team member that they never received the email that I shared and I just went to try and find it as proof but there is no where to find these emails. At the very least you should automatically copy the sender (via their account email) so that there is a record of this share in my emails.

      Jay - how hard can it be to make the is happen. Even if you simply add the automatically cc yourself option. I see that so many people have requested this (over 5 years!) and you all keep closing the requests. But seriously - how hard can it be to solve this? It seems to me like this would be a very simple issue to resolve and one that should have been done a long time ago.

      PLEASE make this happen. This cannot be that difficult. I send important notes when sharing the dropbox link.  I must copy and paste that info somewhere, which I inevitably misplace. This is pretty techno backward IMO.
