1) Can we see anywhere till when suspension lasts ?
2) Can we know which specific links are suspended when many links are in use at the same time. Is it all links from the user account or just the specific link having generated more than 20 gig of traffic?
Hi rolejarczyk
1) no there is no log of this
2) it is all links that get suspended. The 20gb limit applies across every single link you share as a total not per file.

Thanks for your answer. I understand the intent of Dropbox, but it is not very usefull to have 102 gig of space available to me (see picture) if I cannot generate more than 20 gig of traffic without my links being suspended for ALL my files at once. Bypass: I have decided to move my largest files to another service. Now, how my friends can get back access to the smallest files still in my Dropbox account? May I send request somewhere or if I must wait an unknown number of days for suspension to be eventually removed ?

If you need more space to share files you can upgrade to a bigger plan: www.dropbox.com/plans. Also remember that Shared Folders do not use up that 20gb/day limit.
And no, I'm afraid you just need to ride out the ban. There isnt a way of having it removed unless you upgrade.
