turn off Dropbox advertising prompts?
How can I turn off these prompts? I've gone through my notification settings on my desktop and online settings, and can't seem to turn off some of the Dropbox prompts that I'm continuing to get thru...
Hi out there.
So its getting on a year now, and those promotional advertising notifications that create a red #1 like they're some sort of error are still happening and there's no way to disable them.
I and many other people do not need or want yet another sneaky end run around the spam laws that prohibit unsolicited email. Which is what this is - since it's a "notification" not an email, there's no need to follow any laws about it and therefore no way to disable it.
Like others, I pay a lot for Dropbox and appreciate it - but I do not appreciate underhanded marketing activity that I cannot escape.
I disable virtually all notifications on my PC so I can maintain flow and concentration, and having a vendor bypass all of that work with no possible way for me to stop it just isn't right.
thank you,

I get these annoying banners, whenever i click the dropbox icon.
Where is the option to opt-out or disable in-app advertisement for ever?
There is a dropbox.com website for stuff like this. Why is there a need to annoy paying users with additional advertisement?
Is it not contrary to all your other advertisements and especially your mission:
"Our mission is to design a more enlightened way of working"
Is in-app advertisement part of the "enlightened way"? I surely hope not.
Please disable in-app advertisements.
I guess you got too many greedy people in your marketing team. The best option would probably be to get rid of these people who suggested in-app advertisement for paying customers, without providing an option to opt-out. Much better then losing paying customers, plus, you can keep your mission running.

Hi there @ , thanks for checking in with us and for your feedback!
Although there isn't currently a way to turn these promotional notifications off, I was able to find this thread, where users have expressed their interest in something similar.
If this doesn't cover it, you can always start a new thread by posting your idea, here.
I know this might not be much, but I hope it helps to some extent. I second this request. I am paying annually for a business account and keep getting interrupted with chat requests and ad banners. This is NOT productive!
