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!

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! Was this ever resolved? I see the post is dated October 2019 and haven't been able to find a solution for this.
Hi Lusil
It seems it still is not possible to turn off dropbox transfer notifications? They are very annoying. Please can you look into this and advise?
Cheers

Hey there Anthony Cook, thanks for joining the discussion here and sorry to be jumping in here.
It's true that there has been no change on this recently, so I'd suggest upvoting the relevant idea to show your interest.
Let us know if you have anything else to ask or add in the meantime, Anthony!
This would be a huge improvement if this can be achieved!
Went to give a vote for the other thread. It's crazy that it's been so long and we still can't turn off notifications and badge counter for downloads. Good god.
I am also requesting that DropBox create a feature that allows us to turn on an off the option for notifications to show up as red numbers in the DropBox icon at the top of the screen. I need to see if DropBox is syncing and the red numbers obscure it. You can see the sync mini icon at the same time as the red number is showing.
In addition, create a feature to allow us to turn on and off the option to receive email notifications for every action we take in DropBox.

Hi PR8, you can request this feature by posting on the Ideas board for other users to vote on.
Was just directed here by support. After a couple back and forth emails over two days, where they insisted I just needed to go to settings to turn off these notifications, they were like "oh, whoops, guess you can't. Maybe go post the idea and see if anyone agrees?"
Of course I see the idea was already posted 1,206 days ago, and no one has done anything about it.
How does it make sense to add a new type of notification and not take the trivial additional step of adding a checkbox for it alongside the other checkboxes to control notifications?!
