    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.

Actually, this can be disabled in your windows settings.

  1. Push windows key and type Notification & Actions.
  2. Scroll down to "Get notifications from these senders".
  3. Find dropbox and select off.

This should fix all dropbox is full messages on windows 10.  If this does not work for you this could be because you have not purchased a full copy of windows 10.  You can purchase one and these settings will work.

    JessiMew,

    Actually, this can be done in 1 easy step:

    1. uninstall Dropbox

    This will stop the almost full notification as well. It is not an answer to the question, but nor is yours. You would have noticed this if you had the decency to read any part of this page. Your 'solution' is even equivalent to the accepted answer.

    I applaud your willingness to help, but please apply that willingness to threads where your solution is actually helpfull.

      Its weird when you type uninstall dropbox in your search it just brings your browser up. :open_mouth:  

      But seriously this is the only way for a user to fix the issue and continue using dropbox without the constant popup's.  This is not something that can ever be fixed by the community unless you go in and edit the code of dropbox which I would not recommend.
