In this article, you can find information about how notifications are managed in the Drive application and how to watch/unwatch a folder.
Manage notifications\ watch a folder
Go to the Settings icon, from the top left corner.
If the notification line is set with “ON”, then the user will get the notification via email when files are added on the folders where he set himself as a watcher. If the line is set with “OFF”, no notifications will be received, even if the user is set as a watcher on the folders.
By clicking on the “eye” icon in a folder, you will watch the correspondent folder and you will receive notifications if there are any updates (new file upload, new comment, etc ).
You can view all the watchers of the folder by clicking on the button “Watcher” at the bottom of the page
If you want to unwatch a folder, there are 2 ways to do it:
Go to the settings icon from the right top corner, and on the new window click on “X” sign. After that moment you will no longer receive notifications when new files are uploaded to that folder.
Select the folder and click again on the “eye” icon. If the icon will get a line across, then you will no longer be a watcher for that folder.
