files have blue circle and not spinning

preferences say no sync issues

app says 'cant sync not enough disk space'

cant use mac to do anything as it thinks all files are on the hard drive and hard drive is full, but in reality set to offline only

    Hi there dandevote - sorry to hear about your syncing issue.

     

    Could you send us a screenshot of the app's exact status and version as shown in your menu bar/system tray?

     

    Also, what is your computer's available hard drive space at the moment?

     

    Any additional information is more than welcome!
