Linked Accounts. Do they share notifications or are they separate?

Hi,

 

I know the benefit of linking accounts is easy swapping between the accounts but I was curious how notifications work. For example, if I have X@company.com linked to a personal account Y@home.com and someone shares a file with Y@home.com, does X@company.com also recieve the notification that a file has been shared? Or are they completely separate other than the easy swap feature?

 

Thanks,

Josh

    Hi there Joshuam08 - thanks for joining the Community and happy Monday!
     

    Linking accounts doesn’t share or transfer information between the two accounts; it's  just an easy way to swap accounts on your connected devices.
