I have been unable to use my Dropbox to share anything or even to assign a folder to someone else for over a day now.

From what I can tell possibly a file around 150 megabytes was shared by a client to their clients list of thirty people. However this does not explain how it could cause 12 gigabytes of bandwidth in three minutes.

Unfortunately clicking File Info does not tell me anything and clicking File activity does not do anything So it is all just a guess.

In any case I don't see why this means I cannot use my account at all now.

this is not the reliability one needs
