Turn off Dropbox Transfer notifications and emails

Hello, I am sick of the torrent of emails and red badges reminding me that I just created a transfer, someone downloaded the transfer I sent them to download, or the transfer is expiring etc. I want to turn off all of these emails with a toggle in the app. The numerous other posts and requests about this issue (dating back to the late 2010's) have gone unresolved, so I'm adding my voice here. Please prioritize fixing this problem! Or hire me to come and add the code in your backend real quick! Pleeeeease 🙏

    Hi aotu! Thanks for posting here. 

     

    Upon creating a new Dropbox transfer, there is also a toggle that allows you to enable/disable notifications when someone is downloading your files. 

     

    Can you give that a go and let me know if it helps at all? 

     

    Keep me in the loop.

    Hey aotu, sorry for judging you. I was wondering if you had the chance to go through my previous post.
