    Hi Claudio75, welcome to our Community! 

     

    Is this a shared file we're talking about, and if so, how did you exactly share it with your client? 

     

    Was that through a shared link, or directly shared?

     

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

    Hi Claudio75, based on everything you described it sounds like you used a shared link, not shared the file directly. 

     

    I'd suggest you share the folder directly with them, using the steps mentioned in my previous response, and also following the folder

     

    Keep in mind, that depending on the settings that you have set for your account, you'll receive the relevant notification. You can find more info regarding desktop and mobile notifications here and email notifications here

    More specifically though, if you’re referring to email notifications, please note that members won’t get a notification every time a file is added to the shared folder. However, if they have set to receive a notification via email for Activity in shared folders, they’ll receive it on a weekly basis.
