Jay,
Thanks for the quick response. They can be any size really (usually on the smaller .pdf/.docx size and type), but the file that prompted me to post after throwing the dialog box up was a 467k .pdf.

Could you clarify how you're copying files directly to your Dropbox account via the browser? Are you adding shared links to your account?

I'm just hovering over a file in someone else's shared Dropbox. I get the two options; "Copy to Dropbox" and "Download". Clicking "Copy to Dropbox" immediately throws up the dialog about being out of storage.

Are you signed into the correct Dropbox account to add it to the right account?
