Do members of a shared folder get a notification that a file has been added?
I've shared a dropbox folder with 12 other people. If I upload a file to the folder, do I have to email everyone I shared the folder with or do they get a notification that a file has been added to the folder?
How to notify a member or members of a new file uploaded into the shared folder?

Is there a way to change this setting to be able to notify via email whenever there is a change in the shared folder instead of weekly?

Hey S_B_P, thanks for joining the discussion here!
At the moment, there isn't an option to change the frequency of this notification.
Since this isn't currently a feature, perhaps you could share this idea here. Other users will be able to upvote and share their interest in the idea too.
Sorry that I couldn't help more with this, but do let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks!
Is there a way to notify them? Like a group text or something for all the users that have access to that one folder? Thanks!

Hi BlackBird11, currently, there isn't a direct method to inform users of a new file in a shared folder.
