View, download, and export
Need support with viewing, downloading, and exporting files and folders from your Dropbox account? Find help from the Dropbox Community.
Trying to understand what actions result in user notifications.
If I unshare a folder with a user, will the user be notified? How email, text msg, etc?
What if I do not unshare the folder, but I change the user fdrom "edit" to "view"-- will there be any sort of notification?
Thanks
Hey @BDG22039, welcome to the Dropbox Community.
In general, users aren't notified upon unsharing a folder or if you change their edit/view-only permissions.
Depending on their notification settings though, they may receive a weekly digest of the activity in shared folders that they are a member of.
You can find more information about desktop/mobile app notifications here, and more about email notifications in this article.
I hope this helps!
