Warning! - Dropbox Plus “Free Trial”

Dropbox StaffHi goldnet, let's jump right into this!
You mentioned a couple of things about your Plus trial, and I want to make sure that we're on the same page here.
To begin with, you can always choose to not proceed with any kind of trial, or upgrade. The choice is up to you, and Dropbox will never force you to start a trial.
Now onto the referrals: keep in mind that all the referrals you have earned would remain on your account when you upgrade or downgrade. Bear in mind that on a paid plan, your referrals would be worth 1 GB each for that duration, while on a Basic plan that'd be 500 MB per referral.
Hope this helps to clarify matters!
Hi - I got a big blue button saying your storage is almost full but we’d like you to have a free trial of Dropbox Plus. I don’t believe there was any means to bypass that button, nor any warning that if I did so I would no longer be able to use my account as I had prior to the trial if I clicked on it.
In reference to the referrals credits, it is irrelevant how they were originally credited. I had a certain amount of storage. Having removed around 30-50% of that storage, if I revert to my Basic plan, I am now 2.2GB over the 2GB limit for the Basic plan as none of my original referral credits remain in my account.
