- 7 years agoHi 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.

That is the most useless answer I have ever seen. Thank you for multiplying entropy!
Great user-oriented service you have, how about spamming my e-mail or calling me at night about changing my dropbox subscription?
It is a shameful strategy to annoy people until they subscribe or drop dropbox (no pun intended).

I am glad I'm not the only one thinking that. What a useless answer.
On Windows 10, which I'm using, you can use the system to block the notifications. Click on the very bottom right corner, the notifications icon, then select the dropbox notifications with a right click, and select "turn off all notifications for this group."
Only downside is that you might want other notifictions, depending on how you use the application. I don't use it for anything but syncing files in my office with my comp at home so I don't care about notifications of any kind. they are all just annoying to me.
