You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Notifications
14 TopicsTo access a document someone sent, I was sent 10 notifications, why?
I'm sure I'm the only one, but in case I'm not - is anyone else mortified that in order to view a document someone sent me that I had to get spammed from dropbox until I login and update my notifiation preferences? Does *anyone* on the planet like to be notified forever just because they had to access a document? Anyone? Really though. Rude.176Views0likes3CommentsRead or Download Notification
I use Dropbox alot for returning photos that I shoot for theatres. I notify them of photo availability by sending them an email with a link to the folder. What would really help me out is to get a system notification when that person accesses the link.485Views0likes1CommentBeing notified when someone downloads your files
Hi, Anyone have any info on this: I used to get notified if some files I had shared were downloaded by the recipient. I don't receive those notifications any longer. I did in 2020-2021. Is there anyway to see or be notified if my files are downloaded by someone? If not, why was that service cancelled. I have a professional account.

I have had a 1 in a red circle on my Dropbox icon (MacOS Catalina, DB 107.4.443) for at least a week now. I have no Notifications (the notifications tab in the dropdown from that icon says "All quiet". I've tried restarting Dropbox, to no effect. What next?4.7KViews2likes13CommentsHow do notifications work for shared folders?
Trying to understand what actions result in user notifications. If I unshare a folder with a user, will the user be notified? How email, text msg, etc? What if I do not unshare the folder, but I change the user fdrom "edit" to "view"-- will there be any sort of notification? ThanksSolved2.8KViews0likes3CommentsHow do I disable Sign Up pop-up when sharing links?
I cannot believe that as a paid Dropbox customer, people I share links with get a giant full screen popup pushing them to sign up for Dropbox that they have to close out before they can view the link contents. This is so confusing for those who click on my shared links, not to mention tacky AF. Where can I disable this? This is kind of pushing me over the edge to finally cancel my Dropbox account. It's THAT infuriating. This is what people see on mobile when I share a link to a folder with them:2.9KViews5likes4Comments
