Dropbox StaffHi there Goom - thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on this with us.
What you described is actually expected when following a folder as simple edits on files won't trigger email notifications. Imagine for example a large team working on a shared folder simultaneously and the issues that could arise by the multiple notifications even for small edits as the ones you mentioned.
The Zapier automations you mentioned or some 3rd party app/integration might be able to help in that regard though so feel free to take a look and give it a go too if you like.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
Ok. Honestly I feel like that should be an option that is available. That way you can choose to have it on or off. If DB can see uploads and downloads I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard to add a date and time modified notification. Many other services do it.
