Erroneous "Your Dropbox is full" message

I am getting a regular "Your Dropbox is full" pop-up - but I have plenty of space.   This 'appears' to have become a problem since I've added a Work dropbox - though that meay be a red herring.   ...

    Drat. Was going to direct you to the thread for that official build, but, it doesnt exist!

    Can I suggest logging a ticket at http://bit.ly/cm-support and maybe copying in this threads URL? Replies may take time, especially as its a bank holiday weekend but you can track at http://dropbox.zendesk.com

Hey there

When did you start getting the message that your account is full? Was it just recently or did you always get that message?

I initially got the message when my dropbox was actually full, but then I deleted a lot of my data and the error now comes up permanently

    oh, I see. If you log on dropbox.com from another browser, will it still show you the message?

      Unfortunately no result. I tried logging in with Firefox. Same message: 

      "Je Dropbox zit vol. Upgrade nu voor 1 TB (1000 GB) opslagruimte en functies voor delen."
       
      I remember that a few days ago I changed the name of the account (because Dropbox allows it). The email address was NOT changed. Could this be the cause?
       
      Year payment has been made and runs until end of November 2017. 
       
      Hope you can help me soon!
      Thanks in advance, Jan Kerdel.

        Hey KERDÈL_BD, 
         
        Because you've mentioned that you're getting the error message on your account online, would you mind letting me know what you can see once you have a look at your Account tab? From there, you can also check whether there is an active subscription connected to your email for this account. 
         
        If you need additional assistance, I’d like to ask you to raise a ticket with our team, so that we access your payment information. Once you do, please let me know a ticket ID in your reply, so that I search up your request internally on our system and make sure a colleague handles it as soon as possible.
