Re: Getting low space notifications when I have plenty of space

Device
MacBook Pro 15"
Operating System/Browser (if using the web)
macOS 12.7.6
Dropbox App Version (if using the app)
238.4.6075
Dropbox Plan
Basic

Question or Issue
I am getting extremely tired of getting "You're running out of space!" notifications. I'm not running out of space. I have more than 1GB free. If these don't stop, I think I'll just move everything to iCloud Drive and delete Dropbox.

This was previously marked as Solved, based on the percentage of free space I have left. However, that is not how Dropbox looks at these things. It is complaining because I am over 2GB. Period. This has to stop, this is not correct behavior, and I am entirely sick of it.
