If you want to see what’s happening in your workspace regarding things that aren’t directly related to you, you can always check out Team Activity in the Dropbox desktop app. When you think about it, though, getting notified about each login can be truly overwhelming, so being able to see who’s currently present is enough for most Dropbox users. This may not be an ideal replacement for a login notification, but it’s as close as it gets with Dropbox. In the latter case, you’ll also see when they’ve last viewed it. Once you hover over these user icons, you’ll see if they’re viewing the file currently or if they’ve viewed it in the past. Just navigate to this toolbar and you’ll see either profile pictures or initials of the users that you’ve allowed access to your virtual workspace.

Well, the closest thing to being notified when someone logs into your Dropbox file is referring to the activity section, located in the upper Dropbox toolbar in the web version. The control, however, is still in your hands, as you can ban their permissions with no more than a few clicks. The second option allows the user to both view and edit the file. Both of these permissions allow the recipient to view the file and all the updates happening, although the former doesn’t allow any form of editing.
