Notification for share folders

Regarding Shared folder, if the recipient has set the system to notify them every time there is a change in the content of the Dropbox account, will they receive an immediate notification and see the file titles once I upload and immediately delete them?

If they do, will the notification they receive only display the name of the uploaded folder, or will it also show all the file names within the folder?
Thanks!
  • Yes, Miatto, if the files are permanently deleted, they won't appear in the events page either.

     

    I hope this helps!

    Hey Miatto, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!
     

    When you say recipient, do you mean other members of the shared folders or maybe the owner? 

     

    If you immediately deleted them after uploading them, they might not have gotten such a notification, but those changes could be seen in the events page

     

    I hope this helps!

      Thank you so much for your assistant and reply. I mean to both member and owner. The folder has been permanently delete after I remove those from the shared folder, so is that why I cannot see those changes in events page now? Can I assume that the file names of these documents won’t be visible to the owner and members as a result?
