Manage Notification Settings via the Sent Files List
Use the built-in tracking features in Adobe Document Cloud to see when your files are viewed and to manage email alerts.
Adobe Send is designed to automatically enable notifications when a recipient views a sent file. You can easily verify these settings and review document history directly from your account dashboard.
Navigate to the Adobe Document Cloud or Adobe Acrobat online portal and log in with your credentials.
Go to the 'Shared' or 'Sent Files' section from the main navigation menu to view all documents you have shared.
Locate the specific file you sent to your recipient and click on it to open its details pane.
Click the 'eye' icon located on the far right of the file entry to view the document's view history and access logs.
Verify that email notifications for recipient views are enabled, or toggle your notification preferences within this history menu as needed.
Seamlessly Share and Track Files using WPS Office
If you need an efficient way to share documents, PDFs, and spreadsheets while keeping track of link activity, WPS Office provides built-in cloud sharing capabilities with permission controls and access logs.
- 1. Open your Document: Launch WPS Office and open the document or PDF you wish to share.
- 2. Click Share: Click the 'Share' button located in the top right corner of the application interface.
- 3. Configure Permissions: Choose 'Create Link' and set your desired permissions, such as View Only, Edit, or Password Protected.
- 4. Send the Link: Copy the generated link and send it to your recipients via email or your preferred messaging app.
- 5. Manage Access: Visit your WPS Cloud dashboard at any time to manage the shared link, update permissions, or revoke access.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I turn off Adobe Send email notifications for specific files?
Yes, you can disable email alerts by going to the Sent Files list, selecting the file, clicking the eye icon, and toggling off the email notification setting for that specific document.
Why didn't I receive an email notification when my file was viewed?
This could happen if the notification email was filtered into your spam or junk folder, the recipient hasn't actually opened the file yet, or if notification settings were accidentally disabled in your Document Cloud preferences.
Does the Adobe Send eye icon show exactly who viewed the file?
The history generally shows that the file was viewed based on the unique link accessed. However, if you shared a generic public link without requiring the recipient to log in, it may only register as an anonymous view.
Are Adobe Send files automatically deleted after a certain period?
Files shared via Adobe Document Cloud typically remain in your cloud storage until you manually unshare or delete them, unless you explicitly set an expiration date when you first created the share link.
