I have these deleted folders that I'm not the owner of
I have no shared files
I have this shared folder but it's about 200MB
I don't know how someone could use 12 gigabytes of bandwidth in three minutes If it's from this 200 megabyte folder
I did have a shared folder last week which was about 15GB. That was deleted last week though so I really doubt it has anything to do with this.

Hi there, jumpinjackeroo, let's jump right into this!
It sounds like access to your sharing was paused on your account.
Have you checked this article to see if any of the files you're trying to share, or have already shared breaches the Terms of Service? You can also take a look here for more info.
Lastly, how long has it been since you received the email and also got the error message as well?
Let us know more and we'll take it from there.
