How do you turn off Dropbox Transfer notifications

I know Transfer is still beta, but is there a way to turn off notifications for it?  I get an email and a badge on the dropbox menubar icon every time a file is downloaded.

    Thanks for the screenshots, mnc50515!

    Although there isn't currently a way to change the notification settings specifically for this feature, I'd be more than happy to pass your comments along to the dev team for review. 

    I understand that this may not be the ideal reply you were looking for, but I do hope it helps to some extent. 

    In the meantime, let me know if you have any other questions and I'll make sure to get back to you as soon as possible. Cheers!

Any email notifications that can be enabled/disabled can be found on your Notifications page, while any notifications from the Dropbox application can be enabled/disabled through Dropbox Preferences.

Transfer notices do not appear to be listed as an option.
