Stopped using Dropbox a long time ago. Their constant "marketing" emails were bordering on scammy "Your dropbox is almost full!" etc - I try not to deal with companies that play these games.

The other day I noticed that the Dropbox icon had a red notification dot. Uh oh, maybe I'm running out of space.

Nope, it was an ad for using Dropbox to scan my tax documents or some shit like that.

I contacted support to ask about disabling future fake notifications, and they tried to claim that malware could be responsible.

I suppose in a way, they're not wrong...

That's exactly why I quit using Dropbox. I have TWO pictures in my Dropbox, no way in hell it's almost full. You lie to me in your advertising, you don't get my money, period.
