Team members receiving emails inviting them to edit the folders I uploaded

Hi Alice! We haven't seen this rolled out. Can you please provide an update?

Glad to hear that a fix is in process. I've been getting inundated with 30-40 of these email notifications each day as my team creates new folders. While waiting for the engineering team to get to it, is there a place within the admin console or other where we can change this setting manually?

I work on a photography team where we all upload our photos daily. Yesterday and today, a few coworkers have told me that they received a notification that I shared folders with them. We've used Dropbox for years but this is the first time I've heard of this happening. When I create a new folder, I noticed two options: "Everyone with Access" and "Specific People"...the first option also has a checkbox that says "Send an email notification", which I uncheck. 

Is this a glitch? I can't find a way to turn off the notification and for some reason, that checkbox is checked by default every. Single. Time. I don't want to annoy or bombard my coworkers with unnecessary notifications, so can anyone please help with a solution?

Hello Hannah,

I have not seen any updates about this. Can you give us a status update? I have a lot of people that are unhappy with this change.

Hannah Sorry, this is not helpful as it is just linked to an idea and not a solution. I am looking for an answer as to why this happened recently and how to fix it. I need to have my members have access to our folders but we don't need everyone receiving a bunch of email notifications for every action done within Dropbox. We need this to stop as it is massively clogging our systems. 

Hey BillGr and dealersubmit, you might want to take a look at this idea for further info on this.

I hope this helps.

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? 

Hello!

When i click on groups/members there are 24 of us and it lists all of us as "members". I don't see an admin title on anyone(myself included).

Everyone in the group is receiving email notifications and app notifications on their phone for each item I upload.

Before this weekend users did receive email notifications but not phone app updates. 

Hi there BillGr - thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Just to make sure we're on the same page, are you referring to in-app notifications, bell notifications on the website or email notifications?

Also, are you a team admin or a team member? 

Let us know more and we'll take it from there.
