107 TopicsGetting low space notifications when I have plenty of space
I am getting extremely tired of getting "You're running out of space!" notifications. I'm not running out of space. I have more than 1GB free. If these don't stop, I think I'll just move everything to iCloud Drive and delete Dropbox.Solved299Views0likes11CommentsTurn off Dropbox Transfer notifications and emails
Hello, I am sick of the torrent of emails and red badges reminding me that I just created a transfer, someone downloaded the transfer I sent them to download, or the transfer is expiring etc. I want to turn off all of these emails with a toggle in the app. The numerous other posts and requests about this issue (dating back to the late 2010's) have gone unresolved, so I'm adding my voice here. Please prioritize fixing this problem! Or hire me to come and add the code in your backend real quick! Pleeeeease 🙏739Views0likes9CommentsI followed my Camera Uploads folder but I don't get email notifications about it
I use the Camera Uploads feature on an iPhone SE, and then access the photos to list items on eBay, so I delete the photos after they’re used. I wanted to track how many photos were added and removed if possible, which the Follow feature looks like it should do, except I enabled it on my Camera Uploads folder 2 days ago and have not received any daily updates. I think I have it set correctly, and I receive other emails from Dropbox, so I don’t think that’s where the issue lies. Does that folder maybe not support the Follow feature even though it’s shown as an option?SolvedI got a popup on my device asking me to upgrade, even though notifications are off.
I have always left "Do not disturb" to on and disabled all app notifications in my windows 11 system settings. Today Dropbox posted a big popup in the center of the screen while I was doing something else. It was a notification that my free account was full and offered an option to upgrade or clear up space but no option to immediately close the window. It was also permanently on the foreground over top of other windows. I can't find any options to disable this from happening. All notifications in the desktop app are already set to off. This type of behaviour is totally unacceptable. If I can't find a solution and it happens again I will have to uninstall.323Views2likes7CommentsI received a Dropbox survey invitation on the desktop app, that looks suspicious. Is this real?
"Got a few minutes? Get $5. Help us make Dropbox better". The window name is "Sprig electron view" (so it's not even using the standard Windows notification service). Anyway, the only notifications I have enabled are: "files and folders shared with me" new files synced edits to files , so I don't think disabling any of them would help. What is going on? This is on a Family plan.Solved354Views0likes8CommentsCan I hide “file changed” popups for specific files?
Hi, I have some files (like logs) that I constantly write to from another PC. Every time they update, I get the “file changed” popups all the time. I’d like to hide these notifications for certain files only, but keep them for all other files. Is there a way to exclude specific files from triggering the popups? Thanks.141Views0likes4CommentsTurn off transfer notifications & emails globally and by default.
We love Dropbox transfers, but we don’t need an email saying that we just created a transfer, 5 seconds after we created a transfer. Transfer download notifications and emails are also extremely annoying. Some of our transfers are downloaded by dozens of people. I don’t need 50 emails plus 50 desktop alerts. We know that we can turn off download notifications for individual transfers, but we should be able to set this as a default. Please add transfers to the notifications page in settings so we can control these settings globally.220Views0likes5CommentsCan I prevent email notifications for Paper docs?
I'm new and I've seen that when changes are made to a Paper doc that the text of the changes are sent via email in as EXPOSED manner (like a screenshot). Can I prevent that from happening (permission / security / notification setting) for all collaborators of that document?175Views0likes5CommentsDisable email notifications about downloads and expiration of existing Transfers
Every morning I wake up to a ton of emails about old files I've sent to clients 6 months ago using Dropbox Transfer. I wish there was some way of disabling it because I don't need to know anything about files that old.173Views0likes5Comments
