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!

Good morning,
Our company uses Dropbox daily to upload construction drawings for the field members to have access to.
As of this morning (June 24/2024) we are getting multiple complaints back to the office because of notifications to users emails/phone notifications about every item being uploaded to Dropbox.
Often I'll upload 10-20 folders a day with multiple files in each and our field users just locate the file that was assigned to them. However, now every user is being notified that I've uploaded each project and is being overwhelmed with notifications.
Is this a new update that dropbox put out over the weekend?
Also is there a way from my end to turn this off or do each of my field guys need to now go into their settings and disable notifications?
Thanks for your time,

I am also running into the same issues this morning with my team. I am getting lots of complaints about the extra email notifications going to the members accounts. This is happening any time a link is created, a folder is made, or anything is uploaded.
Is there a way to turn this off ASAP?
