- 6 years agoHi there jgertler,Depending on the settings that users have set for their account, they’ll receive the relevant notification. You can find more info regarding desktop and mobile notifications here and email notifications here.More specifically though, if you’re referring to email notifications, please note that members won’t get a notification every time a file is added to the shared folder.
