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!
