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!

If I can add too the dicussion for the development team. The number of 'claimed' downloads (and thus messages). Can not be correct. I'm getting loads of download messages for the same file when it's send to only one person. Might be something to look into.

I completely agree! Please add a function to disable transfer notificiations. It's too much.
Thanks!
Like the idea of Transfer, but there's too many steps and too much noise. My ideal solution would involve right-clicking a file and selecting "Copy link to Dropbox Transfer". No wizards, no dialogs, just a link on my clipboard. I don't want any tray popups, badges, or e-mails about it being downloaded (or not downloaded/expiring). It's great that I can check its status on the website, and that's all I need.

Hello Oliver S.4, thanks for checking in with us!
Although there isn't currently an option, you can post on our Share an idea where other like-minded users can comment and upvote.
Hope this helps to some extent!
Is there made an option to disable the notification in between?
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.
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.
- Ok thank you. That’s what beta is for! Overall I really like the feature and it’s super easy to use.
