Hello Sergef, thanks for reaching out!
When your Dropbox account is full, you can still access your files, but they can't be synced while over the space limit.
Are you having trouble with the accessing the files from your desktop Dropbox folder?
Please let me know a little more info about this, like if you're receiving any errors.
Looking forward to hearing back from you! I have the same problem as Sergef, and I'd like to hear from Daphne, too.
I got this email today, similar to ones I've been getting for a long time:
Hi **bleep**,
URGENT: Your Dropbox is full and is no longer syncing files. You've reached the limits of your current plan. New files will only be accessible locally until you get more space.
Here's access to up to 3 TB (3,000 GB) of space.
I don't want to upgrade my account. I want to identify and retrieve files in my dropbox in order to make more room. So I went to dropbox.com, and all I see is:
Looks like you’re out of space
Upgrade now to keep adding files and sharing content
with a list of upgrade options. I don't see any way to even see what files are in there, much less retrieve them. How do I do that?
And this forum won't even allow me to post my name. That's why it says **bleep*.
This is very strange. I've tried several times to examine the contents of my dropbox, and always got stuck. This morning it opened right up. I've downloaded all the smaller zip files. The largest download won't open for some reason, but I know what it is and can request it from the owner again if my second try doesn't work. Once I either have it (a half-hour download) or have decided to abandon the effort, I'll delete it from my dropbox, and then I should be unblocked. I don't understand what the problem was, but since I can't reproduce it and the problem is apparently solved, I'm all set.
by Dropbox is full and locked. I don't see my files. I want to transfer all of them to my other account that I pay for with more storage. I read about linking/transferring but nothing happened because I don't see my files. Can you explain this and help me transfer one account into another?
