Hide notifications for unshared folders.

Hi there, kleep, happy Friday! 

It sounds like you're part of a Dropbox Business team, is that correct? 

When you mention admin folder, can you clarify more? Is this a team folder, or a personal shared one?

Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!

Hi Megan,

Yes, it's a team folder, but with top management access only.

Thanks for your help!

HI kleep, what kind of notification are they receiving, is it on the site, via the desktop app, or in an email?

Hi Jay,

Apparently they receive notifications via the desktop app

Hey kleep, if they're receiving desktop notifications every time changes are made to the folder, it means they have access to it and it's synced to their computer.

Can you double-check the permissions on the folder?

Hi Hannah

I checked the permissions. It says "only you have access".

Maybe they receive notifications because it's a team folder, and not a private folder?

Is it possible for the admin to create a private folder in a business account?

Otherwise, they might be connected with my ID and password, which is unlikely but I can still check.

Thanks for your help, have a good day

Thanks for the additional info, kleep.

If you create a folder within your team member folder (the one with your name on it), no one else but you, would have access to it, unless you chose to share it.

I hope this helps and have a good day as well!
