How do you turn off Dropbox Transfer notifications
I know Transfer is still beta, but is there a way to turn off notifications for it? I get an email and a badge on the dropbox menubar icon every time a file is downloaded.
Thanks for the screenshots, mnc50515!
Although there isn't currently a way to change the notification settings specifically for this feature, I'd be more than happy to pass your comments along to the dev team for review.
I understand that this may not be the ideal reply you were looking for, but I do hope it helps to some extent.
In the meantime, let me know if you have any other questions and I'll make sure to get back to you as soon as possible. Cheers!
Ok thank you. That’s what beta is for! Overall I really like the feature and it’s super easy to use.

I hope dropbox team will add function to disable all notifications , aspesially from email. Now it's a nightmare getiing every hour email that someone download your file.
Been looking for the same function too, would love to use transfer more but the spam (especially getting an email for every download) is holding me back right now.
Is there made an option to disable the notification in between?
I completely agree! Please add a function to disable transfer notificiations. It's too much.
Thanks!
Use email filters to effectively do the same thing. I have mine set up to just automatically mark as read and filter into their own folder so they bypass my inbox. Lots of tools to manage things you don't have direct control over :).
This is really annoying. I have to say, even just a month ago I loved Dropbox and would never think of cancelling my account and going for another service. Now though, I'm reconsidering. There's just too many small annoyances with Dropbox these days, like the ridiclous state of the mobile apps, the Mac app not having the patience to wait for the OS to unlock a drive, files with "illegal" letters simply not downloading with no warning, the app needing a sync restart to even see new files, etc.
Not sure what happend to the Dropbox of yersteryear, but it seems the current dev team is in over their head and just adding features without the polish needed to make it a smooth experience. That doesn't result in a product worth the current asking price.
