How can we get instant notifications for new or updated files instead of weekly notifications?
I use Dropbox as a central depository for construction drawings and through "Editable access" permission settings allow external consultants to upload their drawings into nominated folders.
The collection of folders for a construction project are shared with subcontractors, staff and other consultants on a "View only" permission setting.
The problem that I seek your assistance with is a feature which Dropbox is lacking in.
I need a method of automatic instant emailed notifications of new or updated files to all that have been set up for shared access to the project set of folders. Currently, the only avenue for notifications is electing to receive a weekly report.
Please help !

Welcome to our Community, RobC-BB!
At the moment, you can only get instant notifications of files added, edited, etc., when using the Dropbox desktop app.
When it comes to email notifications, those do only come in the form of the weekly update, like you mentioned.
We really appreciate your feedback on this, though, and I'll make sure to pass your comments along to our team.
Let me know if you need anything else.
