You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

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!
emails are as so...

I’m starting to hate Dropbox with the Transfer notifications. Quit using it. How can I get just a plain email with the Send ?
Still here - still no fix! Dropbox - PLEASE pay attention. This is so easy for you to change, and it makes your users so upset the way it is.
It is indeed incredible that after various comments (including mine from over three years ago), nothing has been done to address this issue. @Walter @Lusil !
Was this ever resolved? I see the post is dated October 2019 and haven't been able to find a solution for this.
Hi Lusil
It seems it still is not possible to turn off dropbox transfer notifications? They are very annoying. Please can you look into this and advise?
Cheers

Hey there Anthony Cook, thanks for joining the discussion here and sorry to be jumping in here.
It's true that there has been no change on this recently, so I'd suggest upvoting the relevant idea to show your interest.
Let us know if you have anything else to ask or add in the meantime, Anthony!
- Ok thank you. That’s what beta is for! Overall I really like the feature and it’s super easy to use.

Glad to hear that you're enjoying it, mnc50515!
If you have any other questions or feedback for us, don't hesitate to give us a nudge. :grin:
In the meantime, have a lovely day ahead!
I hope dropbox team will add function to disable all notifications , aspesially from email. Now it's a nightmare getiing every hour email that someone download your file.
If I can add too the dicussion for the development team. The number of 'claimed' downloads (and thus messages). Can not be correct. I'm getting loads of download messages for the same file when it's send to only one person. Might be something to look into.

This would be a huge improvement if this can be achieved!
Went to give a vote for the other thread. It's crazy that it's been so long and we still can't turn off notifications and badge counter for downloads. Good god.
