Do users removed from shared folders receive a notification?

If I remove a user from a shared folder (being myself the owner of the folder), will that user that has been removed receive a notification?

 

I'd like to remove a user from one of my shared folders, but I don't want that user to know that they have been removed.

    Hi Jbiz, thanks for posting today.

     

    The user would receive a notice on their events page that their access to a shared folder was removed, though it won't be a direct notification.

     

    Additionally, they might receive a notification that files were deleted from their account, which would be the shared folder being removed.

     

    If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
