still the warning of 70% full is showing in the log. this is annoying.
i have been assured that 70% full post no prob.
The whole point of warning before there is a problem is to alert you that it would be good idea to take action to expand the volume or free up space.
If we only start warning when there is a problem then that doesn't help with avoiding running into problems.

After a firmware update, an app developer may need to update their app for it to remain compatible so if an app is very important to you it would be a good idea to check with the app developer that they've tested it and found it to be working on new firmware before doing the firmware update.

Sometimes users need to log in to do basic admin tasks like add or remove new Egnyte users, and the update nag is apparently just super tempting. Alternate solution would be a non-admin interface for users to do this, or a sub-admin management role, I suppose. The user story here is, I would like to be able to switch from automatically to manually checking for updates. (Found some info about such a feature for v4 but not yet for v6.)
I don't think there is a way to disable the prompt currently. As you mentioned you don't have to agree to do the update. Generally I would encourage users to use the latest firmware as it will provide the best experience in most cases.
