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.
I get the message despite my personal dropbox only showing 6.6GB of 8.88GB used and my work dropbox showing 300.7MB of 2GB used.
- 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

Hey pOOB73, welcome to our forum!Would you mind doing an unlink-relink and see if the issue persists? If it does, then please write in to our support team here, so our team can take a closer look and investigate.Thanks! - pOOB739 years agoExplorer | Level 3
I followed these steps and this is what happened:
1. Unlink account
2. Reboot
3. Uninstall Dropbox
4. Reboot
5. Reinstall Dropbox > Account was relinked automatically. I didn't have to enter email & password. Warning reappeared.
6. Rebooted again after synching.. Warning reappeared.

Thanks. The unlink-link/reinstall Dropbox / Reinstall Windows didn't help. The Message reappears.
I cannot open a support ticket. I only get a spinning waiting circle forever.
I've tried Chrome and Edge (latest versions) without an ad blocker. Will try with IExplore later at work.

On my PC (windows 10, 64 bit) dropbox keeps saying it is full and ask me if i want to upgrade my dropbox. I already deleted a lot of files and my dropbox is now for 60% full. But it keeps giving me the same message several times in a hour. It is getting really anoying. What can i do to fix this problem?

I have the exact same problem with my install of Dropbox. I have Windows 10 Pro 64bit and I have been getting these messages for some time now. I have the whole time only been using 7,6% of my Dropbox and there is plenty of free space on the acctual drive the folder is on.
I have also tried installing the latest version (just now) and immediately got a message that my dropbox is full. When I go to check space usage it is still 7,6% used...
Can we please get this resolved?
