Dropbox Storage Quota Warnings
Never run out of space—Nora alerts you when storage hits 80% and suggests cleanup
Nora monitors your Dropbox storage quota daily. When you hit 80% used, it alerts you and identifies the largest folders to clean up or archive.
Dropbox plans have storage limits. Nora checks your quota daily and alerts you if usage exceeds 80%, 90%, or your custom threshold. The alert includes current usage, percentage of quota, and days until full (projected). Nora also analyzes your files and suggests what to delete or archive: 'Your Videos folder is 45GB and hasn't been accessed in 60 days.' You can configure archival rules (e.g., 'Move files older than 1 year to external storage') and Nora will execute them. Prevents the painful situation where uploads fail because you're out of space.
Runs every day at 8:00 am using Dropbox, run by your Operations Manager.
