How can i get an email alert when someone shares a file with me? It shows up as red spot on the bell notification icon but unless I am in Box I don't see it.
Question
email alerts
Hi Mark,
Welcome to Box Community and thanks for your post in the forum!
To receive email alerts when someone shared a file with you,
- Go to your desired folder > More Options> Settings
- Scroll down a bit and in Email and Notifications section you can check Uploads to get notified when your collaborator uploads a file in your folder.
- And don't forget to click on Save Changes
Enabling email notifications through your folder settings will allow you receive notifications without having to login to the Web-App.
Hope it helps! Let me know if you have questions.
