Exit the Dropbox application from your system tray and try it again. If you get the same result, it's likely nothing to do with Dropbox.

Hey MultiKoopa, if you come across the pop-up again, please send us a screenshot.
Just make sure to either attach it to your reply from the camera button, or send us a Dropbox link to the screenshot, otherwise we won't be able to access it.
