Need to disable emails for every comment in a shared folder.

I’m using the Dropbox app (not replay) and I’m receiving an email for every comment made from a folder with thousands of images. I want my client to be able to make the comments but I do not want an email every time she does. I have I clicked all the boxes in the “notifications” options in my account but I am still receiving the emails with her comments. Please help my inbox is filling up with emails with just a heart comment and it’s very frustrating

    Hi Ebfoster, let's jump right into this! 

     

    You mentioned the desktop app, and the email notifications you receive. Just to make sure we're on the same page, do you receive these notifications in your account, in every platform, or just via email? 

     

    Is it on Dropbox Paper, or on a shared file? Have you tried disabling the comment notifications using these steps? 

     

    Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!

      So I basically uploaded about 54 folders and each folder has 59-100 jog images every time my client hearts an image I get a physical email. I have now received over 100 emails and counting. It’s not feasible for me to turn off comments on every image. I want my client to be able to heart the images she likes but I do not want to receive an email every time she puts a heart on an image. Hope that helps

        Hi Ebfoster, currently, there isn't a method to disable the email notifications in bulk on files, only on a per file basis.

         

        If you wish, you can suggest this change for others to vote on, so the dev team can look into this in future.
