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!

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.

Gee, this still hasn't been fixed while it is one of the most annoying things of Dropbox Transfer. Is it so hard to program a button that disables getting dozens of emails from Dropbox?
Btw, the alternative is just to mark them as spam.

They did add an option to disable emails when someone downloads, which does help some... but you have to manually enable it everytime you create a transfer. which is annoyying. I should be able to set it to default off.
I also still get summary emails of each transfer and when its about to expire.
