    Hi Stuart_Hunt, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    How exactly are you sharing this file with your users. Are you sharing the file directly to the Dropbox accounts?

     

    Or, are you sharing a link to the file (or folder) and then copying and pasting that link in an email?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

      The file is shared directly (email comes (via Dropbox) <no-reply@dropbox.com
      I am actually the recipient who does not get the email 

       

      By the way earlier this morning I tried to reply from my mobile

      As part of the login to this forum an email should have come to me with 6 digit code

      I did not get the email or the retry and still have not got it one hour later (nothing in Spam either)

        Hey Stuart_Hunt, sorry to jump in here, but have you made sure that you're  looking at the correct Dropbox account? Do you happen to have another one perhaps, associated with a different email address of yours?

         

        If not, please let us know and we'll reach out via email to investigate further. 

         

        As for the email notification about the shared file, have you ensured that you have your notifications turned on?
