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...

I can forward that suggestion to our dev team for their consideration in future.
It's a shame that these exist.
I'm seeing more and more that people (myself included) are turning off all notifications to avoid this spam--something that should always, always, be opt-in. This hurts productivity, especially in a collaborative environment, and is pushing users to other solutions like Google Drive and OneDrive. One company I work with stopped using Dropbox altogether because of this.
I'd be very surprised to learn that successful upsell from invasive desktop notifications alone offsets the loss of users and loss of goodwill among those that remain due to their use. I'm also be surprised if this dissatisfaction didn't increase exponentially with the current focus on privacy.
