Team members receiving emails inviting them to edit the folders I uploaded
Morning All
I have uploaded folders this morning and everyone within the Dropbox group have had an email from myself (via Dropbox) inviting them to edit said folder.
This is the first tim...
Hi everyone! I'm the Product Manager for this feature. Thank you all for the feedback! We are planning to update this so the default checkbox is OFF. When you (or team members) create a new team folder, you'll have to check the box if you want to notify other members of the shared folder you have created a new folder
Our engineering team is in the middle of this update so this should be rolled out in the next week or 2. Thank you again everyone for your feedback and patience!
Our office has started experiencing the same thing. Everyone receives an email notification when a new folder is created in Dropbox. We also have a team constantly creating folders and the email notifications are overwhelming. This is a new problem. How can we fix it?
Thank you.
my colleagues are receiving tons of emails from Dropbox, whenever I create new folders or insert images.
we have had Dropbox for years and it has never happened. Please see attachments.
Someone can Help me?

Hey SHARON VANNI, I hope you're doing well!
I went ahead and removed the screenshots you attached, since they contained a lot of sensitive information, emails and names.
Do you share a folder with your colleagues? Also, have they adjusted their email notification settings? You can see more about this here.
Keep me posted!
Hi Megan, I agree to remove the attachments, I eliminated personal info. The Problem is not what I receive from Dropbox, the problem is what dropbox shares with the other members of the group, of what I did. for every little action I do on Dropbox my colleagues receive an email

Hey SHARON VANNI, I'm trying to understand if we're referring to a simple folder within your account with no shared, or a shared folder perhaps.
Also, you mentioned the "members of the group". Would you be able to clarify if we're referring to members that also have access to the folders, or if you're part of a Dropbox team?
In your screenshot I can see a "SILO" folder, right? Is that shared with anyone?
Hi Megan, Is there a solution to this problem yet? We are experiencing the same issue.
Thank you,
