Erroneous "Your Dropbox is full" message

I am getting a regular "Your Dropbox is full" pop-up - but I have plenty of space.   This 'appears' to have become a problem since I've added a Work dropbox - though that meay be a red herring.   ...

    Drat. Was going to direct you to the thread for that official build, but, it doesnt exist!

    Can I suggest logging a ticket at http://bit.ly/cm-support and maybe copying in this threads URL? Replies may take time, especially as its a bank holiday weekend but you can track at http://dropbox.zendesk.com

For the last few weeks, I keep receiving a Pop-Up Message in the bottom right-corner of my Windows 7 machine to Upgrade, when I first turn on my computer, since I have run out of storage.  I do not want to upgrade at this time and want to disable this message. I know that I have to Upgrade eventually, so I don't need to be notified every time on turn on my computer.  I have checked the Preferences in the General section, and there's no option to disable notiications. Please help!

 

Only options in the General section to check or uncheck , is System  "Start DropBox on System Start-up", Notify Me About "Comments, Shares, or @mentions" and "Synced Files" , then Dropbox Badges.

Guess I'm here to say what I'm moving to another product. Mostly because of this annoying notification on all my desktops.

    I just wanted to echo my fellow users here by saying that I detest the nag message and have finally come to the end of my tether with it. Even though I'm at 80% capacity, I currently have a nag popup in the corner of my screen that I CAN NOT DISMISS. Unforgivable.

     

    I'll be making steps to move to an alternative service ASAP.

      Hey Mazza, 

        

      Would you mind unlinking your device once, rebooting & then relinking following these steps? 

       

      [Note: I've moved your thread here, so that you have a look at some additional steps that have worked for other users]

       

      Feel free to keep us updated on the outcome here, thanks!
