Get notified of activity in a shared folder

Get an email when files are added to or deleted from a folder you share, right away or once a day.

Updated Web

Drime can notify you when someone else adds or deletes files in a folder. Your own changes never notify you, so this is useful for folders you share with other people. Both alerts are off until you turn them on.

#Turn on folder notifications

  1. Right-click the shared folder and choose Folder settings > Folder notifications.

    The right-click menu of a demo folder with Folder settings open on Manage storage, Folder notifications, Set naming convention and Recalculate size
  2. Under What should we notify you about?, turn on Files added, Files deleted or both.

  3. Choose how often to get emails.

    Under How often should we email you?, choose As activity occurs or Once a day.

  4. Click Confirm.

    The Set notification options dialog with Files added turned on and As activity occurs selected

Notification preferences saved confirms it.

#How often you are emailed

  • As activity occurs: changes are grouped, then sent once the folder has been quiet for about 90 seconds, and at most 10 minutes after the first change.

  • Once a day: you receive one summary email a day.

To stop the emails, open the same dialog, turn the options off and click Confirm.

#If it doesn't work

What you see

What to do

No email arrives

Your own changes never notify you: only files that other people with access to the folder add or delete do, including workspace members. You also get a notification in Drime, under the bell. With As activity occurs, the email leaves a few minutes after the activity stops; with Once a day, it comes in the daily summary. Check your spam folder.

The folder is not shared

Nobody else adds or deletes files in it, so there is nothing to notify. Share it first: see Share a file or folder with people.

To choose which other events notify you, and where, see Choose your notifications.
