      <title>Disable desktop notifications for app's folder</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm using Dropbox Sync to write down small files to sync things in my iOS app. Because records and datastores are too limited in my case, I can't use Datastore. Unfortunately, these internal files are generating a lot of notifications on my desktop. It annoys the user. The solution is to disable sync of this folder on desktop computers, but it requires an additional step for the user (after having annoyed it). All of this is degrading user experience.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;By nature, what happens inside an app folder is less likely to be of interest for an human user. It would be great if we were able to set our app folders as "notifications free" if relevant. One can also imagine per subfolder filtering. For now, my apps are mobile only, but if I want to make a desktop version and use Dropbox to sync stuffs, disabling app's folder sync will be impossible and users would have to live with dozens of garbage notifications. It would be so awful that it would prevent me to use Dropbox at all to sync with a desktop version (even if user would like to use Dropbox).&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I couldn't agree more! This has basically rendered the new Recent Files feature on the iOS app useless... It is filled with file changes unimportant to me!!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello, the same here. Isn't this an extremely obvious case? Should not these desktop notifications be switched off BY DEFAULT? It seems this feature request is sitting there for 1/2 a year - any chance it will be possible to switch off the notifications on all the clients OS for the given DropBox app? It should be the given app (if installed on the given OS) that handles the updates but not the user - it would generate only his/her frustrations...  Greg or anybody from DB, can you please give a status update on this? Thank you very much in advance, Jan&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Gregory, may I ask what does "no update" mean? I guess DropBox has some internal tracking system of bugs and feature requests... Is this feature request originally introduced by Thomas anywhere in that system? Is there ANY chance it will get implemented? I have been living with these notifications for the last 2 months... As a feedback for me as a developer it is a useful side-effect... as a user, nothing can annoy me more. I am afraid many people will feel it the same way. Thanks and have a nice day, Jan&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Jan, by "no update" I just meant that I didn't have any news to share yet. We do track all feature requests for the API, including the requests for this feature from the three different developers on this thread, including yourself.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Anyway, we generally try not to promise anything until it's delivered, in case plans change, but this is something we hope to release. In fact, it's currently in the new API v2 preview as the "mute" parameter, but I can't promise that it will remain part of the final release or work correctly, since it is just a preview right now.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;As a user and a potential developer, this also annoys me. It seems like a simple use case. I use an app called ember and it's constantly writing files to my dropbox folder. That's awesome, but that also pushes actual files I'm working with out of my list in the menubar, and constantly shows me popups about files being added and deleted. So I guess I'd like to fourth this in the hopes of getting some traction on this.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It would also be generally helpful to hide notifications when I'm working on projects with other people who are rendering frame sequences so I don't&amp;nbsp;see a notification for every little group of frames that come in.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I'm glad to see that you're working on it. I hope it's not just available in the API but also as a preference for the basic users as well—that way I don't have to wait for a developer to add mute functionality.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm surprised this still isn't a thing. It should have been added long ago already.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In my case, I have a shared folder with several people who keep adding stuff all the time to a certain folder, and it's really annoying. I'd like to disable notifications for that particular folder. The only current way to do this is disable it from syncing, but then it also deletes all the folder's contents from my computer, which makes no sense to me.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Let me se if I get this right, it is not possible to turn of the notifications? Im being spamed with popups from dropbox every 10th second. Is my only option to mute my computer?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;@Mads P. No, just right-click the Dropbox icon in your taskbar, then the gear icon, 'Preferences', and unselect 'Show desktop notifications'.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;What I'm complaining about is that this disables ALL notifications, whereas I wanted to disable them only for a specific folder.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello @Mads P., @Érico C. expressed that exactly, there is however one thing I'd like to emphasise: When he talks about 'specific folder' it might sound the user&amp;nbsp;can select which folders he wants to get notified about. That is a thinkable scenario too but the very first step should be that by default&amp;nbsp;all notification are disabled for EVERYTHING that is under the APPS folder. APPS folder is not anything the user has actively created it is crated for him to serve for any of the applications he installed. For that reason the user does not expect any notifications (very probably he does not even know there is any apps subfolder at all). And for that reason user gets naturally annoyed by these unexpected notifications.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;To say it shortly: The name of this thread is just perfect: "Disable desktop notifications for app's folder".&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Best regards, Jan&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Definitely upvoting this one....My wife and I use the "You Need a Budget" app and share the data file via dropbox. If one of us is working in it, the others dropbox goes CRAZY because of the incremental saves the application does, so for the next couple hours I get a pop up saying the same file is updated over and over and over again....&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Selective notifications would be GREAT...&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Same story with Moneydance for Android. It uses DropBox for sync.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;That will sound like a programmer's suggestion (because it is): Something like creating a file in the sub-folder we want to personalize (.dropbox, or something similar) with some options like "no-notification" might also be interesting. Of course, having the GUI client generating it for us when we are users, but being able to create it automatically for our apps using DB as a sync solution.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Just my 2 cents! &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@FBF7D2AB59A0D6E861EBF6A36F93B7E2/emoticons/1f642.png" alt=":slightly_smiling_face:" title=":slightly_smiling_face:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Is there anyway this issue can get more attention? The OP is soon-to-be 1 year old and there's no sign of this apparently not so&amp;nbsp;complex feature being implemented. I share a folder with dozens of other people that constantly save new and updated .docs, and the nonstop notifications drive me crazy. I DON'T want to disable the syncing to my PC. That would make having&amp;nbsp;the desktop software&amp;nbsp;installed no less than useless to me. Pretty please, folks, make it happen!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;O.S., this forum is for&amp;nbsp;developers using the Dropbox API to&amp;nbsp;build their own apps.&amp;nbsp;It sounds like you're looking for an end-user feature, so a different forum would be a better avenue for support.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As for the developer request above, Greg noted above that this was added to API v2 as the "mute" parameter on /files/upload and similar endpoints, though as I recall there are some limitations.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Steve M., I must admit this is one of the most frustrating threads I ever participated in. Please read the very original request from Thomas and if possible also the comments I posted throughout the last calendar year: This is all about the &lt;STRONG&gt;APPS folder&lt;/STRONG&gt; - a folder you, DropBox, creates, on behalf of your final users, not them personally. What sense does it make to notify users about changes in the folder they never created?&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;Isn't this absolutely obvious case?&lt;/STRONG&gt; Independent on any API version, independent on API&amp;nbsp;client&amp;nbsp;requests or&amp;nbsp;parameters sent... &lt;STRONG&gt;Simply NEVER notify about changes in the APPS folder and its subfolders! &lt;/STRONG&gt;I guess this feature &lt;STRONG&gt;must be implemented in your Dropbox software - in your Windows and Mac clients&lt;/STRONG&gt; as it is those clients who display those annoying notifications. There is hardly any other work-around. I am very sorry for using bold font and one or two exclamation marks but for the last &lt;STRONG&gt;427 days&lt;/STRONG&gt; of this ticket lifetime I do not sense any sincere&amp;nbsp;interest from any 'Dropboxer' to address this issue. Maybe my view is too simplified but &lt;STRONG&gt;it is about one if statement&lt;/STRONG&gt; in the related&amp;nbsp;client code...&lt;/P&gt;</description>
