    Hi there funkup!
     
    Sounds like you’re receiving a notification about your Dropbox account running out of space. You can check how much space you’ve got left by navigating to your Plan tab on your Settings. 
     
    Although this notification cannot be disabled, it will not appear once your Dropbox account isn’t close to or over its storage limit. To do this, you can either make space by removing unwanted content (including shared folder and files) or earn free space. 
     
    I hope this helped. Let me know if you have any more questions!

    SOLUTION:

     

    In windows 10 after the annoying notification, click on the speach bubble icon on the lower right of your screen, this brings up the notifictaion/ action area, right click on the dropbox notification above then " Disable notifications for this group."

     

    That should stop you being pestered.

- Open the Action Center. (The speech bubble icon beside the clock, where (among other things) you get a list of all your notifications.)

- Right-click the intrusive piece of **bleep** dropbox spam notification.

- Click the "Turn off notifications" option to disable all notifications from dropbox.

 

An option to just get rid of the spam notification would be preferable, but I guess this is the next-best thing to do.
