Family Folder notifies you when things happen in your shared space — when a file is uploaded, a folder is shared with you, or a calendar event is added. You can view these notifications in the app and opt out of email notifications at any time.Documentation Index

Accessing the notifications panel
The notification bell icon in the top header opens the notifications panel. When you have unread notifications, a badge on the bell shows the count (up to 99+). Select the bell to open the panel as a slide-in drawer on the right side of the screen.What triggers a notification
Notifications are grouped into three categories:| Type | When it appears |
|---|---|
| File uploaded | A family member uploads a file to a folder you have access to |
| Folder shared | A folder is shared with you |
| Calendar event | A calendar event is created or updated in your family |
Reading and marking notifications
Selecting a notification marks it as read and navigates you directly to the relevant file or folder. If you want to clear all unread notifications at once, select Mark all read in the panel header.The panel shows your 50 most recent notifications. Older notifications are not displayed but your activity history is available within the app based on your plan.
Email notifications
Family Folder may send you emails for certain activity in your family. You can unsubscribe from these emails at any time. Once confirmed via the link in the email, no further notification emails will be sent to that address.Unsubscribing only affects Family Folder notification emails. It does not affect transactional emails such as account confirmation or password reset messages.
