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!

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.

    Hey

    Updating the feed a bit. I'm using Dropbox Transfer because it's very very useful, no need to use other softwares or products but getting an email for each transfer becomes annoying. To have it only as notifications in the dropbox app should be enough.

    Please Dropbox work on this !

    Thanks for nudging us on this thread, Kleutput, and for sharing your thoughts with us. 
     
    I just wanted to mention that you can have a look at this thread, where other users have expressed their interest in having more control over these notifications. 
     
    I hope this helps to some extent, but let us know if you have any other questions. Cheers!
