Hi westje, thanks for contacting us.

    This is sensitive information so I will be unable to attach a screenshot.  It was a Paper doc. The changes were:  changing some text to bold and adding a sentence.  The email was from “Dropbox Paper” and the subject was ‘Changes to filename’.  The content of the email was a screenshot of that section of the document with the changes highlighted in green shading.

      Thanks for the info. We appreciate the feedback on this matter. 
      Currently, there isn't an option to disable notifications for all members of a Dropbox Paper document to not receive notifications.
      We take all comments into consideration when improving Dropbox Paper and services.
