Notification spam. I received the same notification 54 times.
I am having an issue where I received the same notification email 54 times since 4 days ago. I am not sure if this is a bug with Dropbox or something else. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi MikeDidier,
Thanks for reporting this. We're currently investigating and we have some questions:
- Is the email address you're receiving these notifications the same one you used to sign up here on the Community, or is it a different address?
- Are you receiving these notification emails today?
Let us know and we can go from there!

That sounds really frustrating! Here’s what you can do to resolve the notification spam:
Check Notification Settings:
- Open Dropbox and go to your account settings.
- Navigate to the Notifications tab and adjust your preferences to limit email notifications.
Check Email Rules:
- Ensure there are no email rules or filters that might be causing duplicates.
Update Dropbox:
- Make sure you’re using the latest version of Dropbox.
Contact Support:
- If the issue persists, contact Dropbox Support for assistance. They can help identify if it’s a bug.
I hope this helps!
