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,

This is a shady practice, to hide drobox advertisements behind drobox program specific alert notifications. I believe this is illegal. Cease and Desist this practice ASAP.
It's deeply rotten to continue ads for paying customers outside of times we already interact with the company (renewal emails, before logging on, etc.). Digital lives are our real lives. These notification ads are like tapping our shoulder at random times a day and whispering in our ear "Wanna buy more?". You wouldn't do it to a friend at the office. You'd be fired. Why us? It calls into question your personal moral compasses, professing to be a company built for productivity but hypocritically prioritizing slight profit.
A shift is looming online, away from endless distracting ads. Be on the right side, or... frankly... we'll hate you. We'll leave you. Some else will do it better. And at the speed of light, these days.
