Dropbox took away all the GBs I had earned by referring other users. Why is that?

Question or Issue Dropbox took away all GB I obtained by me promoting others over years to use DB - WHY?

I have not gone over 17 GB because DB has not let me do so. I've taken a number of things out of DB because of all the warnings I have gotten today.

You have - because thats exactly what it says. 

What can happen, other than Backups, is that if you are in a share they can continue to add files to the folder which continues to take up your space, even if its already full.
