Dropbox doesn't prevent access to your account when it's full. It just prevents you from syncing and adding new content until you're back below quota.
If you're signing in to the website and you're being presented with an option to upgrade, it's likely just a window that you can close and continue to your account. If not, take a screenshot and post it here, being sure to mask any private information.
