Customize sensitive content alerting based on the Team's needs.

"Sensitive content in team folders shared externally" is a useful feature but it's not precise enough. There should be a way to exclude domains/accounts/folders from these alerts otherwise they are just far too noisy.

    Hi 8i5i8 thanks for reaching out. I'm a Product Manager at Dropbox and would love to understand your use case better. Could you share more details about what you're trying to achieve and how you'd like Dropbox notifications or alerts to help minimize unnecessary noise?

      Our team works closely with a handful of other Dropbox customers and often share folders with "sensitive" items.  We want to exclude those customers (ideally by domain name) from the alerting but still get notified if we share sensitive data externally with any other 3rd parties.

        8i5i8 Thank you, this is helpful. By alerting, do you mean the excluded customers should not receive email/notifications when you share folders with sensitive items in it?
