Can I get notifications about a file being deleted or saved on the iOS app?

I dont believe such notifications exist anywhere in Dropbox I'm afraid. 

All I can suggest is tracking http://www.dropbox.com/events, or, if you dont want people to move files out of Dropbox locking things down using the appropriate link permissions. Same goes for saving, there is no way to get notified if that happens, but you can try and make it harder via link permissions.

Mark​ Thanks for your email.

I found information to "Enable or disable notifications on an iOS device" but wanted to ask, what are the exact settings needed?  I wanted to get notifications on the iPhone.

The link is:  https://help.dropbox.com/account-settings/notified-changes - does this actually work on latest IOS on iPhone?

Hey User34, thanks for reaching out to us.

The article you linked mentions that the Dropbox app on iOS provides push notifications about shared folder invitations and when links are shared with you.

At this time, there's no setting for the notifications you mentioned, but you can follow Mark's advice and I'll also pass your feedback along to our team.

If you have other questions, let us know!

Please see attached screenshot: can you please clarify what this means and where are the settings?

Hi User34, this appears to be a desktop notification showing that there were changes in your Dropbox folder, so you wouldn't get notifications similar to these on an mobile device using the Dropbox mobile app.

Are you able to navigate to the Settings app on your iOS device, using the steps in the article you linked in order to receive notifications for shared folder invites and when links are shared with you?

Jay​ Hi, thanks for the message.

How do I enable the desktop notifications for MacBook Air, please can you confirm the settings?  This should work better for my needs.

No worries, you can access your Dropbox desktop application preferences by following these steps.

If you need any further assistance, please let me know!

Jay​  Please can you confirm what the exact setting are for the Desktop application?  

Are you able to access the preferences for the desktop app?

Can you view the Notifications tab within the preferences?

Jay​ Yes I can access the Notification tab for the desktop app.
