Hidden storage space availability.

I am annoyed with Dropbox.

I can only find out how much storage I have in total.
I cannot find how much of it is used or free to use.
It doesn't show on the Windows' tray, and it doesn't show on the online app.
Right now, I simply cannot find that very basic simple information: How much storage is left available.
It should show right there, everywhere.

I understand that this is a sneaky corporate move to hide this information so that users find themselves stranded when they get a message saying that their Dropbox is full. This is deplorable technique to keep people in the dark and drive them into "panic buying" more space. It's insulting quite frankly.
This makes Dropbox another greedy abusive capitalist type. It's just disappointing. I don't expect you to fix it. I know the type. I bet it will only get worse with time. Just wanted to vent a bit of frustration. When I'm sick of it I will probably stop using Dropbox.
This doesn't make me want to invest in Dropbox for sure.
