False Notice of Space Left
I keep getting notifications from Dropbox saying that I am almost out of space, but my actual usage is less than 50% full. How do I stop the messages and turn off the message number on the Dropbox ic...

Thanks.

Dropbox StaffThanks for the added info cm58!
The "1" symbol you see there indicates you have an unread notification. It's not a space warning.
You can check for the notification by clicking on the icon itself, and make sure all the notifications are up to date.
Can you give this a go?

I also have these false notifications! "Dropbox almost full!" I have 82%, 10,7 out of 13 GB is far from full.
I'm guessing that this an aggressive marketing strategy to desperately try to sell more storage in order to not lose clients to Google or Microsoft and to get more revenue, but it's too aggressive!I'm considering a re-arrangement in my storage workflow but these "spams" makes me unwilling to support Dropbox even though I've been a user since the beginning. I'm not a fan of too many unnecessary notifications.
So please, tone it down. After some clicks around the preference I find a "View more settings on dropbox.com" where I find an alert for "I'm running out of space". Why can't I have in the the apps preference? It feels a bit weird. Could you add a slider for that option so I can choose at what percentage or GB I want to be notified? That would reduce the numbers of unwanted "spam"-messages from you.
Cheers!
