How do notifications work for shared folders?

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!

Ah - so if I stop getting the weeklies, then I must have been unshared . . . thanks
