I created a folder, added some files and shared it with a friend. He received notification and viewed the files.

I have now deleted those files from the folder and added some new ones. Will this automatically notify him of the change or must I do something?

Hey @rupertbear, thanks for checking in with us!

Although users will directly get an email invitation to the shared folder, they don't generally receive daily notifications about changes made to it.

However, each user can set to receive notifications in their account for shared content that they are a part of. 

You can find more info about desktop and mobile notifications here and email notifications here

Let me know if you have any other questions!
