    Hey there, Grahame31​, let's see what we can find about this together. 

    As a first step, are you seeing this on the Dropbox site, or desktop app?

    Can you also hover over the small Dropbox icon in the system tray and let us know the Dropbox app version you're using?

    Lastly, could you please send us a screenshot of the pop-up?

    Thanks!
