How to disable Dropbox almost full notification?

- 7 years agoHi there funkup!Sounds like you’re receiving a notification about your Dropbox account running out of space. You can check how much space you’ve got left by navigating to your Plan tab on your Settings.Although this notification cannot be disabled, it will not appear once your Dropbox account isn’t close to or over its storage limit. To do this, you can either make space by removing unwanted content (including shared folder and files) or earn free space.I hope this helped. Let me know if you have any more questions!

SOLUTION:
In windows 10 after the annoying notification, click on the speach bubble icon on the lower right of your screen, this brings up the notifictaion/ action area, right click on the dropbox notification above then " Disable notifications for this group."
That should stop you being pestered.

This doesn't answer the question. The question was how to disable the 'almost full' notification, without having to disable all notifications.
I found how to disable the e-mail notification, but in the app settings on Windows I can't turn them off. I understand this is your businessmodel, but this is really anoying. If you offer settings for turning off some notifications, why not mention this one in the list?
With this ridiculous, condecending attitude, the moment my dropbox is full, I will be moving to a competitor.

Well it's the best answer you're going to get. I don't know of any other way to stop the almost full notification besides disabling all of them. You say you're going to a competitor like you think that upsets me. I don't work for Dropbox, do what you want, I don't care. But if it makes you feel better to whine to strangers on the internet, go for it buddy.

@Archimedes I was trying to reply to the main answer here, not your comment. Apparently this thing doesn't support threads. Your answer is indeed the actual answer: you can't do it, but you only if you turn off everything.
