Add control over Dropbox Transfer e-mail notifications in the settings.
When sending a file through Dropbox Transfer, you get notified everytime a file will expire within 2 days. When you send all of your work to your clients through Dropbox Transfer, you get quite a lot of these e-mails and they start to clutter up your inbox.
It would be practical to have control over all notifications related to Dropbox Transfer in the settings.

shouldnt this take a dev like an hour to implement? It's been moaned about on various boards for over a year, makes no sense, is spammy and easily resolvable

Not sure why this isn't do-able. Every time a link is about to expire I get an email about it. It would also be good if there was an option for the file to automatically delete on expiry to free up space. Otherwise the expiry is kind of useless right?

Thank you for your idea, while we can’t take every idea forward we do regularly re-review and will update you if anything changes!

This is ridiculous. We stopped using Dropbox for transfers, because we can't handle the amount of email spam it generates.
We report the emails as spam using Office365 and in Gmail... Maybe if enough people do it, eventually they will be flagged and blocked serverside. - PR8Helpful | Level 6
Walter or other Dropbox representative, please give us a status on this feature request. We want to be able to turn off notifications being sent to our email addresses and the red notification icon that appears on the Dropbox icon every time someone downloads a transfer. The red notification icon blocks the Dropbox icon from show whether files are being synced which what I really want to know. Please implement this feature.

Dropbox Transfer has now been out for close to three years and STILL there is no checkbox to enable/disable the notifications?

How are we STILL getting email notifications for every transfer we create? I make dozens every day - I do not need an email about each one. Get it together, Dropbox! We just need the option to turn it off, you can leave it on by default if you want.

For some reason I'm not able to vote for this, but please give us the option to turn off emails. Why on earth is this ON by default? In which scenario is it useful to get 29 additional emails a day with no valuable information?

Hi Nancy,
I don’t mean to be rude in any way, but your reply gives me the feeling that the fact that suggestor can’t vote is more important than the original issue in this thread… I think the original issue deserves more attention from you and your team.
Thanks in advance for giving this the needed priority.

I am also requesting that DropBox create a feature that allows us to turn on an off the option for notifications to show up as red numbers in the DropBox icon at the top of the screen. I need to see if DropBox is syncing and the red numbers obscure it. You can see the sync mini icon at the same time as the red number is showing.
In addition, create a feature to allow us to turn on and off the option to receive email notifications for every action we take in DropBox.
