Good evening

I have been receiving messages to advice my Dropbox is full. I am on the 2GB free of charge plan.
I am now wanting to delete files to free up space again, however it is not showing any files to delete. I am also unable to sync, as the third device could potentially be the i-Pad I no longer have in my possession.

What are my options please other than just deleting my account?

 

Thank you

    You can unlink any device in link with your account here. 😉 Just press the trash bin next to device you want to unlink.

    Hope this helps.
