All of a sudden I don't have space on my Dropbox account

Hi peeps,   I was given access to a folder by my NFP.   All good for a couple of months, now, although there is only 500mb of stuff in it, it has stopped syncing and I cant upload files to it...

Thanks so very much for engaging, that's very helpful. 

Sooo, the NFP folder should be able to be shared to

And I as secretary can use it until all 2 tb are full, as well as have my own personal Dropbox which contains 2 TB of my own stuff. 

I just have to ensure I log into the right shell and the person who gave me access needs to now add secretary@...... 

Did I get that right? 

It's starting to make perfect sense. 😊

Hi vickiw, does your account have enough quota on it, according to this page? Do all the other members invited to the shared folder have a paid account as well for the files to sync between them?

 

Bear in mind that it isn't possible to share quota between users using shared folders.
