Get Notification when new files been uploaded to dropbox

I do have DropBox account and I didn't get notifications when new files uploading to it on my email.
I did read all topics how to fix this problem, but can't find.
Please respond me ASAP. My email is [email removed by moderator]

    Does the notification stay on my screen until I dismiss it? In my experience, unless I am sitting in front of my computer when the notification arrives, I will not see it. That's not the same as an email sitting in my inbox which I check regularly anyway. I've asked for this for years.They could make it a premium feature, and get more paying customers. Am I the only person who wants this??

    Yeah but shouldn't there be a way to get push notifications on iOS when someone uploads something into a file that they are sharing with me? Otherwise, what is the purpose of the notifications?

    Use the RSS feed, to most people this is exactly the same as an email.

    No.

    Have you used the RSS feed yet? You can find it on the Events page.

    I had the same problem and solved it by setting up a zap on zapier.com

      Zapier is the Special Olympics of interoperability.
