Choose your notifications
Choose which Drime events notify you and where, by email, in your browser or on your phone, and see the notifications that are always sent.
For each kind of event, you choose whether Drime tells you by email, in your browser, on your phone, or not at all.
#Choose your notifications
Under Notify me when…, tick or untick each channel for each event: Email, Browser or Mobile.
Turning on Browser asks your browser for permission first.
At the bottom, click Update preferences.
The button shows a check mark, and Updated preferences confirms the change.

#The events you can choose
Section | Events |
|---|---|
Notify me when… | I am invited to workspace, A file or folder is shared with me, Someone comments on my file, Someone uploads files to a shared folder, A cloud import (Google Drive / Dropbox) finishes, Someone requests my signature, A signer signs one of my documents, One of my documents is fully signed, A signer declines one of my documents |
Drime Pages | A task reminder I set is due, A task in a page is assigned to me, A reminder I set on a date in a page is due |
For new accounts, Someone uploads files to a shared folder does not send emails until you tick Email for it.
#Notifications that are always sent
Some messages do not depend on these choices, because you need them:
when someone mentions you;
when someone sends you a file request;
when someone shares an item with an address that has no Drime account;
the new sign-in alert: see I got a new sign-in alert.
To be told about activity in one specific folder, use folder notifications instead: see Get notified of activity in a shared folder.
#If it doesn't work
