Can I turn off the warning that my Dropbox is almost full?
This question most surely have been answered already but I couldn't find any such answer.

If I get 2.5 GB through referrals, I want to use 2.45 GB without getting annoying messages every day. There is nothing wrong with "my dropbox being almost full" unless I need to put more stuff in it.

Hello, @fromo...
I do understand, but unfortunately it's something you have to deal with when using a free account (close to your storage quota ceiling). It's no differnet than dealing with ads or pop-ups using other free services (upgrade to plus account).
I was merely offering a suggestion as a FREE work-around from receiving those daily messages since you cannot stop them (as @Mark pointed-out).
It is very annoying. It doesn't matter at all that I am using 95% of my space. Isn't that the point?
What matters is that I am not increasing from 95% at all. I am adding small files and removing other small files, and I don't intend to pay dropbox a monthly fee to remove an annoying message.
Hello, @dolphin_fan and @fromo...
As @Mark pointed out, you cannot prevent that warning from occurring when using the Desktop Client. However, in case you're not aware, you can turn-off email notifications (view screenshot and possible work-around below).
POSSIBLE WORK-AROUND: The only FREE work-around to get the Desktop Client warning to stop, would be to have friends sign-up for a free Dropbox account via a referral from you (receive 500MB storage space each if all 4-steps are completed).
You can refer to this forum post to learn how to accomplish that mission... should you choose to accept it.
That is just indecent approach.
Dropbox says I have X space with such usability blablabla, BUT the reality is I have 85% of X, or 100% X with everyday spam.
The workaround I use is: copy important files to GoogleDrive (OneDrive, or similar) and use less (or none) Dropbox. So you will release the space from Dropbox and nagging will stop - for free. Moreover, dropbox recently introduced a new severe limitation: It wont synchronize anymore for free if you have more than 3 (not sure of exact number) machines syncing. Very ****** reason to use it less and less. There are many providers on the market, not just dropbox and gdrive. It is quite easy to switch if they introduce severe limits.
