Disable "almost full" and "out of space" notifications and emails
How do I remove these permanently? I have over 28 GiB of space and range between 25 GiB and 26 GiB in use. I always have well over a 5% buffer and never run out.
Yet I am bombarded with emails and intrusive pop-up notifications on a daily basis. Emails have high-pressure CTA subjects like " Action requested: , your files are about to stop syncing!"
This is factually false and extremely irritating. If there is no way to turn this off I'm going to have to move to Google Drive.
Is there any way to change this terrible behaviour?

Yes to the emails - via the notifications settings.

This is also linked to on each email from Dropbox.
Notifications on the app, I dont believe so

Why not? It's supremely irritating to be told you're "almost full" when you're not close to being full. It makes the app unusable.

I'm getting real tired of this. "Your HDD is almost full"
I have 250GB remaining. Nowhere near almost full. Stop with this annoying BS please.
