Request from UserVoice

Allow notifications to be turned off, or maybe make this off by default, with a checkbox to email members.

My response:

Great suggestion, Shawn -- thanks. Though I think we might want to mimic our UI for group docs and instead keep notifications on by default but give people the option not to send a notification upon upload. We'll discuss this on our tracking system - http://redmine.gc.cuny.edu . If you want to be part of the discussion, please send me an email (mattgold at gmail dot com)

Shawn's response to my response:

Thanks, Matt! I just wanted to send along the suggestion, as I sometimes upload 3-5 docs at a time and don't want to inundate peoples' inboxes, as opposed to sending one summary announcement once I'm finished uploading them.

I think these are very reasonable concerns and I suggest we implement a feature that looks like the checkbox under BP Docs, which would allow file uploaders to prevent the system from creating an email notification.
