Yeah, I can see that if you've curated your network of people.  But I end up 
having to work with a network that's insufferably incuratable (including grad 
students who are worked to exhaustion and busyness people who can't be bothered 
to learn the tools they use).  If I tried what you do, I'd miss ~30% of the 
artifacts that are traded.

My augmentation to your process is simply to do a 2-step check on whether the 
corporate notification (DropBox, Google Drive, etc.) that appears in my email 
is also reflected in the notification box of the normal "console" for the web 
application (see attachment if it goes through).  If I don't recognize anything 
about either the email or the notification, then I won't "view" it.

It's the same process we all (should) go through for notifications from banks 
or credit cards... don't click on the email, go to the official page and login 
normally, then look for any new notices or messages.
