Hi Paul!
When you join a shared folder, that folder now resides in your Dropbox too and therefore takes up space.
Your Dropbox quota is calculated based on the total contents of your Dropbox, which includes shared folders. A Dropbox account can't sync more than its quota, so a 2 GB account can't sync more than 2 GB, including the space taken up by shared folders. Because every member of a shared folder can add and modify the files in the shared folder, the shared folder takes up space in each member's account. This policy exists to prevent people from giving themselves unlimited space by stacking Basic accounts and shared folders.
If you need a little more space, you can visit the following pages on our website to see how you can earn bonus space:

Everytime I start Windows (and by extension Dropbox) I get a message that my dropbox is full. My dropbox is not full and the app itself says I'm using just under 6% of my available 2 GB. This message appears even after permanently deleting deleted files. In addition my other PC with the app does not recieve the message. A reinstall of Dropbox did not fix the issue. Is there a fix other than deleting dropbox?

Super User IIAre you sure it isnt saying you are running out of hard drive space?
Note as well that deleted items do not use quota, so, permanently deleting files will have no effect.

- I have close to 40 GB left on my hard drive, so that's not the issue.
