Erroneous "Your Dropbox is full" message

I am getting a regular "Your Dropbox is full" pop-up - but I have plenty of space.   This 'appears' to have become a problem since I've added a Work dropbox - though that meay be a red herring.   ...

    Drat. Was going to direct you to the thread for that official build, but, it doesnt exist!

    Can I suggest logging a ticket at http://bit.ly/cm-support and maybe copying in this threads URL? Replies may take time, especially as its a bank holiday weekend but you can track at http://dropbox.zendesk.com

I have the exact same problem with my install of Dropbox. I have Windows 10 Pro 64bit and I have been getting these messages for some time now. I have the whole time only been using 7,6% of my Dropbox and there is plenty of free space on the acctual drive the folder is on.

I have also tried installing the latest version (just now) and immediately got a message that my dropbox is full. When I go to check space usage it is still 7,6% used...

 

Can we please get this resolved?

Hi there @Joostv1992

 

The first thing to check is that you are signed into the same account both on the web and desktop, so that we can ensure that the email address on your devices is the same as on the web.

 

From there, you can go over to https://help.dropbox.com/space/account-space-left in order to see how much available space there is on your account:

 

  • Simply navigate to the space bar in your Account Settings to see the amount.

 

If you've checked and can confirm that you are do in fact definitely have enought availalbe Dropbox space, could you try uninstalling and reinstalling the Dropbox app?
 
 
Let us know how this works for you, I'll be happy to stay followed-up on the matter! slightly smiling face

If reinstalling the application does not help, then, yes, definitely submit a support request on this matter at www.dropbox.com/support 
 
Best, 
Karina

    Yes i have enough space and I only have one account. I reinstalled it but it keeps saying my dropbox is full. It does download new stuff but it keeps giving me the message.
