    <description>&lt;P&gt;I know there has been at least&amp;nbsp;one other discussion on this, but it got wrapped up in the whole "APP' directory should be turned off by default discussion.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I want to report a clearer(?) issue. I recently upgraded to API v2 as required.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I make a write call with&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;'Dropbox-API-Arg': JSON.stringify({"path": path,&lt;BR /&gt;                        "mode": "overwrite",&lt;BR /&gt;                        "mute": true})&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I still get a desktop notification.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I confirmed I have the latest client version.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I am on a MAC.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Any update on this? It seems like mute isn't working when overwriting an existing file.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;This is still not working. I have tested on both macOS and Windows.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;The desktop notifications are still coming through.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Do you&amp;nbsp;have a fix date on this?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I am speachless. This issue is so much bothering and&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;so easy to fix&lt;/STRONG&gt;. How could it be it has been lying unresolved&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;for 3+ years&lt;/STRONG&gt;???&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The situation about all disturbing notification&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;actually got worse in my application recently. I successfully updated to API v2, I used 'mute' parameter and for some time my users were spared of the annoyances. Recently both me and the app users realize&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;desktop notifications (both on Windows and Mac) about INTERNAL changes done via my application again! This is so sad &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@B0F70D28791EB05FA3EA0C3BDDF08EE3/emoticons/1f61e.png" alt=":disappointed_face:" title=":disappointed_face:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Please finally fix it !!!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;1) Make 'mute' parameter in the API v2 100% perfect. Make it available not only for uploading but also deletion (and basically all basic) operations.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2) Make finally DISABLED BY DEFAULT any notifications on your desktop clients (both Windows and Mac) on&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;ANYTHING&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;located in the Apps folder. Nobody (really NOBODY) is interested in these notifications. The Apps folder is for applications not for direct usage...&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Especially the second request is an extremely simple one.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;It can be done by&amp;nbsp;a&amp;nbsp;student of programming class by adding one IF statement. Please hire one!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Please do not reply that I should post / request elsewhere. I am&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;bit&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;tired of&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;those&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;after 3 years.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;I will honestly hope this time the real changes happen.&amp;nbsp;Thank you.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/10"&gt;@Greg-DB&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Thank you so much and please apologize my capital letters and exclamation marks from yesterday - I got bit emotional. Yes, please send it further and if it is anyhow in your power, please try to follow up. The time all these app notifications got discussed there and back is really above the industry standards and without any exegeration I thing it must be trivial to fix it. Many of your end users will be free of frustrations if those notification&amp;nbsp;disappear.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Please &lt;STRONG&gt;feel free to contact me&lt;/STRONG&gt; here in the forum if you and any of your colleages &lt;STRONG&gt;need more details&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Have a nice day&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/10"&gt;@Greg-DB&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You replied to me back in October by "&lt;SPAN&gt;I'm sending it along to the team." and 2-3 months later your reply to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/407678"&gt;@seanreilly&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is that you have no any news?!? Does this mean the story will stay unprocessed for another years? Can you please provide me with any direct contact of the given team? For our use case this issue is a business-killer, users love the sync story we were able to give them thanks to your API but they simply HATE the unrequested notifications. And the fix is sooooo terribly SIMPLE - it practically requires one IF statement, a one-liner change in your source base. Please read my suggestion described in this thread in October 2017.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Honestely I feel close to zero dedication from your side if the story can stay untouched for another days/weeks/months/years. Please make me believe the opposite. Please.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Best regards&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Jan&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This issue is still open directly with the team, and I'm adding your feedback to it.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For reference though, this issue would not be trivial to fix, and would not be a simple one line change.&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/10"&gt;@Greg-DB&lt;/a&gt;, Thank you for your reply. I will be hoping it gets any attention from the&amp;nbsp;team you referring to. I will try to ask here again within few weeks.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I still cannot understand why this is not a one-liner change. In my suggestion from October 2017 (which is&amp;nbsp;practically a copy of my earlier posts on&amp;nbsp;related threads from approx. 2015) I divided the solution to two points:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Changes in API regarding the 'mute' parameter&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Change in your Dropbox Desktop Clients (both Windows and Mac).&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The change #1 is surely not trivial but the suggestion #2 must be more or less a one-liner IF statement:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;IF (folder == "Apps") THEN do_nothing&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Your clients alrady have the concept of Selective Sync - please see the attached screenshot. All that is needed is to disable that "Apps" folder by default. Your programmer would simply simulate the action each your user is forced to do manually on the UI exposed by your programmers, that's it...&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="DropBox_SelectiveSync.png" style="width: 478px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/2387i7BC27C621BEC124D/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="DropBox_SelectiveSync.png" alt="DropBox_SelectiveSync.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Do you agree with me on the following statement - a statement I posted number of times?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Dropbox users are&amp;nbsp;NOT&amp;nbsp;interested in&amp;nbsp;any notification related to Apps folder. The Apps folder has been designed for Applications not for users' direct usage." Many of our users write us how much confused they are to see these notifications! They have no chance to understand a notificaton saying 'Your file 489483487-384-8.xyz has been deleted.' Worse than that - especially&amp;nbsp;with the deletions - the users get scared that they are losing some of their data.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I am sure this is so easy to comprehend from your side.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Do you agree with me on this? I have been programmer for almost 20 years, I am&amp;nbsp;normally quite&amp;nbsp;humble in my opinions but in this case I am sure my statement (and its fix estimation) is correct. The fact that the notifications are raised by default for this App folder is a bug, it is a design flaw. If I was a Product Owner I would even consider removing the option to ever enable the notifications for Apps folder. The only type of user who could be interested in these kind of notifications are developers working agains your API would be my guess...&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I will be hoping you will not redirect me to any Clients related thread as that happened in the past and that did not bring the fix any further. I agree it belongs to Client code but in total I have already spent many hours writing to different threads over the years. &lt;STRONG&gt;Please help&amp;nbsp;us this time and make this really happen.&lt;/STRONG&gt; I do not know what more I can do for this. I offer again my full cooperation if more info needed.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Of course the fix suggestion #1 (the one about 'mute' paramenter) is also valid and in that point I agree it is not a trivial fix. For our needs the fix #2 is sufficient.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Best regards&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Jan&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
