I get notified when anyone does anything

I get a notification anytime someone in a shared folder opens a file, comments to someone else or anything. I get so many notifications that I miss ones that are actually intended for me. 

I don't see anywhere to change these notification options to be only get a notification when I am tagged.

Is this possible to change?

    Hey natasha123, happy Monday!

     

    You should be able to choose what kind of notifications you get on your Dropbox icon, by following the steps here.

     

    If you need anything else, please let us know.

      Hi,

       

      Thanks for the reply, but I do not see any options in notifications to select Only received notifications if I am personally tagged. I receive a notification if anyone does something in a folder a created. My team members however only receive a notification when they are personally tagged.

        Hey natasha123, sorry to jump in here, but could you clarify if you're referring to email notifications, notifications on the website or in-app notifications perhaps?

         

        Also, are you part of a team account or are you using an individual one? 

         

        Do you happen to be following the mentioned shared folder by any chance?
