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.
