Bogus warning from Dropbox

Dropbox keeps sending me bogus messages that my dropbox is full and that my files will soon stop syncing.

 

My dropbox is NOT full, and I resent receiving all these bogus messages. I'm afraid this is a dirty tactic by DropBox to blackmail me into upgrading, and that they will soon stop synching my files in order to escalate this blackmailing tactic.

 

How do I get them to STOP sending me these bogus email messages, leave me alone, and maintain my free account without fear of losing my files? I will NOT be blackmailed by ANYONE, including Dropbox!

    Rich,

     

    Are you a DropBox employee? Is this an official reply from Dropbox?

     

    If not, while I thank you for your reply, it does not instill any confidence in me that DropBox isn't going to do exactly what they have been warning me about, in several messages over the last few months, that is, prevent my files from syncing.

     

    DropBox has been unreliable in their policies in the past. I am very much concerned that they will carry out their threats and disable my account even though I am not over my quota.

    You're not being blackmailed, you won't lose your files, and the only thing that will happen is you won't be able to sync if you go over your quota. If you no longer want to receive the low space message, just turn it off.
