Disable all notifications as Team admin for all members.
Is it possible, as a company admin, to disable DropBox notifications for all members without going to every device and doing it individually?

Hey JPerry, happy Friday!
I just wanted to also confirm that notifications from the desktop app about files being added/edited/deleted from folders, can only be turned off by each user individually.
There is an option in the admin console, for admins to turn off viewer info, to hide info about who has viewed a file, if this is something that might interest you.

Please add this feature. Having all members receiving baloon notifications about every file edited means wasting everybodys attention many times during the day. When there are many dropbox users editing files, there is non-stop activity and notifications. It is annoying and a brach of privacy for senior members. Going computer by computer editing the desktop setting is not possible for our organization with computers in multiple locations.

Hello. I see that many more people are asking about the inability to control notifications as the admin to protect the privacy of employees. This would be a relatively easy fix, but we have not heard anything back from DropBox since February.
Can we please get an update on the implementation of this very important security/privacy feature?

Hi madtasty69, currently, we don't have any new updates on this option being added to the service.
