False prompts
Dropbox has been urging me to get more storage space for weeks now, I am nowhere near to running out. This is a solo storage account. I cannot get the bot to understand that the information is false ...
Ok, I'll say it again. I was able to toll my quota back by permanently deleting my deleted files. I stopped getting the prompts immediately. If that wasn't it I cannot account for what happened. Thanks for yor input but I'm done with the topic.
I am glad to actually talk to somebody. But there should be no way Dropbox could flat out tell me plain lies, tell me regularly and repeatedly, and give me no way to protest the unfair treatment and no recourse should Dropbox decide to stop my services on the basis of false reports

Super User IIUnless you actually tell us what the issue is though DakeDrinnon nobody can help (note I'm not an employee!). Your first post just said you wanted to turn off notifications - hence my reply.
Its quite simple as I stated I want the prompts to be meaningful and true and I want the untrue prompts to cease. Furthermore I don't much care for the idea that false prompts might be used against me and used as an excuse to cut off my service and I would not be able to make any protests nor lodge a complaint. Additionally Dropbox provides this option as a venue for me to voice my problems with Dropbox policy rather than provide me with any real and meaningful contact with them.

Hi DakeDrinnon, according to the Dropbox site, how much quota do you have in total and how much are you using?
What is the exact notification you're getting? A screenshot of this would help greatly.
Im on the basic plan with 2 GB space and I had got ro 1.8. I did actually post the screenshot. However after the fuss started here I permanently deleted all of the deleted files that were still waiting for up to 30 days second chance in my Deleted files section. My storage space adjusted to under 1.8 and the notices sropped. So currently I have no problem. All I ever put in were personal still photos, the individual files were not large
