Not getting notifications when files are added to folder
As the title says, I'm not getting notifications when a file has been added to a shared folder that I created. I can see that something was added if I view "Sharing activity," but I'm not getting not...
Thank you. I did notice yesterday that I had Windows notifications turned off, so I turned that on and am getting notifications of them being added in my Windows notification sidebar. So that's a workable solution. Just odd that the notifications within the Dropbox app are still from a month ago. 🤔

Just a quick comment on this. What you're seeing there is a digest. It's a once-weekly email notification showing the share activity from the previous week.

Hi BriGuyOSC,
Just a quick follow up.
Did turning on Windows notifications do the trick for you?
Let us know if there’s anything else you need help with.
Hi, thank you. Yes, turning on the Windows notifications is a workable solution (after manually disabling Windows notifications for other apps that already provide their own notifications; gets to be overkill) -- just odd that the Dropbox app, itself, isn't showing any.
