Out of Space. Do not want to Upgrade.

I moved TOO MUCH content into my Dropbox. Synching has paused/stopped. I DO NOT want to upgrade, pay for additional space. How do I move the content that exceeded my space limit BACK to it's original virtual container, Microsoft's One Drive?

    Hey Frank G.16, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

     

    Have you tried moving the content that put you over your account's quota out of your Dropbox folder on your Computer and let the app sync the changes till it's up to date in your system tray/menu bar?

     

    Let me know how it goes!
