How do you turn off expiration date e-mail notifications for Dropbox Transfer files?

When sending a file through Dropbox Transfer, I get get notified everytime a file will expire within 2 days. As I send all of my work to my clients through Dropbox Transfer, I get quite a lot of these e-mails and they start to clutter up my inbox. Is there a way to turn them off?

    Hi there Dropbox-Team & Community,
    I do send a lot of files to my clients and colleagues via Dropbox Transfer.

    I like the ease of use and overall workflow of said feature a lot. But I don’t enjoy the lack of control over the notifications / emails I get regarding my (sent or expiring) Transfers. The notification after s/o downloaded seems helpful, but I don’t enjoy all the emails in my inbox telling me that my transfer is ready or that it will expire soon – These mails just fill up the mailbox and are unnecessary (for me).

    As proposed many times, like over here → Please add a set of options in Settings/Notifications to configure theses notifications as preferred by the user. Right now the user experience gets a deep hit by the resulting (unconfigurable) email clutter.

    Thank you! 🙏
