New folder creation - Option to change default behavior of "Send an email notification" checkbox
This idea would solve a lot of issues and address many complaints. Creating the option to change a default behavior when creating a new folder within a parent folder. Currently you cannot modify the checkbox below from being checked by default when creating a new folder. If you do not un-check the box, an email notification is sent to every member of the parent folder. Please see a screenshot of the dialogue box and checkbox in question:
@anthony_nordin I have voted for the idea
@AliceDropbox I agree with everyone here to leave it off by default.
My company is having this problem too, which didn't exist until recently. The email notification should be OFF by default or we should have the option to make it off by default. We create a lot of folders everyday and having to go through an extra step is extra work. Making the last chosen setting the default would be fine. Anything so that we don't have to uncheck the box every time.
I am NOT a fan of the new Send an email notification feature.
Please make the box UNCHECKED by default. It's creating all sorts of issues.I agree with everyone here as well. We just started to have these issues this morning for some reason, but this option needs to be turned off by default ASAP PLEASE!
We create dozens of folders a day and need to not have to click this every time.
Any updates on the status of this being changed to default off? Or if an admin can change it to default off for everyone. I have a lot of users that are not happy with the new notifications.
PLEASE CHANGE THIS ASAP... I'm getting complains from all my staff that they are getting emails everything I upload a new folder. I create 100s of folders a day... and there inbox is being floated... I'm trying my best to remember to "uncheck" but forgetting to do it for the most as this is not something I did before.
PLEASE PLEASE... HORRIBLE IDEA.AGREE, please change this to OFF by Default or Click off and stay off ASAP, either works but it needs to have an option to turn OFF and STAY OFF. Every time a new folder is made I am getting calls, text & emails from my Team members asking if there are things they need to address on EVERYTHING and now when I ACTUALLY need someone to address something I have to message them to let them know what particular things need attention... It is VERY annoying for everyone!
