Yes, they have. That was what I was thinking. With dropbox app I receive notifications when I upload something. But I have to have notifications turned on.
I guess this is what you found on Google drive's forums:
Notifications

You can set notifications to find out when other people have modified your spreadsheets, and learn what they've modified. You can also choose how often you'd like to be notified.

Set notifications

Open the spreadsheet where you want to set notifications.
Go to the Tools menu and select Notification rules.
In the window that appears, select when and how often you want to receive notifications.
When:
“Any changes are made”
“A user submits a form”
How often:
“Email - daily digest”
“Email - right away”
Click Save.
What you will see in notifications

When receiving notifications, you and other editors will see the usernames of people who have made changes. Viewers can set notifications but can't see usernames. You won't be sent notifications about your own changes.

Someone with your exact request...I just browsed thru the posts, but it seems there's another extension.
