Turn off "transfer" creation email notifications
How do I turn off email notifications when I create a transfer?
Thank you
Walter

Hey Film Rescue - thanks for using Dropbox and posting on our Community!
The notifications you can disable are the ones shown in your account's settings online.
Do you maybe see an unsubscribe button in the email notifications you mentioned?
Let us know more and we'll take it from there.

Thank you Walter
Yes, I've already been to this part of the settings and there isn't an option to turn of notifications for when I create a new transfer. This happens immediately after I create a new transfer which I'm already aware of so I don't understand why this notification is necessary. Maybe I just need to understand the utility of this

It's just a reminder that the creation of the transfer was successful Film Rescue
Since there isn't an option to disable those notifications at the moment, you can post your thoughts on the Share an Idea area following these tips.
i hope this helps a tad.

This is insane. People have been asking to turn off these extraneous email annoyances for at least five years, and there's been five years of Dropbox Staff gaslighting users into thinking this is possible via settings. It's clearly not possible to disable auto-sending of the emails Film Rescue is referring to. Why is this so difficult?
