I get notified when anyone does anything

I get notified when anyone does anything

I get a notification anytime someone in a shared folder opens a file, comments to someone else or anything. I get so many notifications that I miss ones that are actually intended for me. 

I don't see anywhere to change these notification options to be only get a notification when I am tagged.

Is this possible to change?

Hi,

 

It seems like that's the case, but I can't figure how to unsubscribe or unfollow. The only option I see is to start following.

Hey @natasha123, you might need to go through each file, as the steps to unsubscribe from the comment notifications are file specific.

 

Follow the steps here, and let us know if you can find the option.

Thanks Hannah,

 

I am able to click on unsubscribe. But, how did I get subscribed? I don't have the bandwidth to go to hundreds of files and click unsubscribe. 

Is there a setting on the folder, or when I make a folder that I need to unclick?

You didn't really get subscribed, this is basically the default.

 

And you'd need to unsubscribe from within each file, I'm afraid, but I will pass this feedback to our team.

 

If you have any more questions, let us know.
