How do you turn off Dropbox Transfer notifications

I know Transfer is still beta, but is there a way to turn off notifications for it?  I get an email and a badge on the dropbox menubar icon every time a file is downloaded.

    Thanks for the screenshots, mnc50515!

    Although there isn't currently a way to change the notification settings specifically for this feature, I'd be more than happy to pass your comments along to the dev team for review. 

    I understand that this may not be the ideal reply you were looking for, but I do hope it helps to some extent. 

    In the meantime, let me know if you have any other questions and I'll make sure to get back to you as soon as possible. Cheers!

      I’m starting to hate Dropbox with the Transfer notifications.  Quit using it.  How can I get just a plain email with the Send ?

        Still here - still no fix! Dropbox - PLEASE pay attention. This is so easy for you to change, and it makes your users so upset the way it is.

      Was this ever resolved? I see the post is dated October 2019 and haven't been able to find a solution for this.

      Hi Lusil

      It seems it still is not possible to turn off dropbox transfer notifications? They are very annoying. Please can you look into this and advise?

      Cheers

        Hey there Anthony Cook, thanks for joining the discussion here and sorry to be jumping in here.

         

        It's true that there has been no change on this recently, so I'd suggest upvoting the relevant idea to show your interest.

         

        Let us know if you have anything else to ask or add in the meantime, Anthony!
