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.
I get the message despite my personal dropbox only showing 6.6GB of 8.88GB used and my work dropbox showing 300.7MB of 2GB used.
- 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

Hey there
When did you start getting the message that your account is full? Was it just recently or did you always get that message? - Wonkieinc9 years agoExplorer | Level 3
I initially got the message when my dropbox was actually full, but then I deleted a lot of my data and the error now comes up permanently

oh, I see. If you log on dropbox.com from another browser, will it still show you the message? - KERDĂL_BD9 years agoExplorer | Level 4
Unfortunately no result. I tried logging in with Firefox. Same message:
"Je Dropbox zit vol. Upgrade nu voor 1 TB (1000 GB) opslagruimte en functies voor delen."I remember that a few days ago I changed the name of the account (because Dropbox allows it). The email address was NOT changed. Could this be the cause?Year payment has been made and runs until end of November 2017.Hope you can help me soon!Thanks in advance, Jan Kerdel. - Jane9 years ago

Hey KERDĂL_BD,Because you've mentioned that you're getting the error message on your account online, would you mind letting me know what you can see once you have a look at your Account tab? From there, you can also check whether there is an active subscription connected to your email for this account.If you need additional assistance, Iâd like to ask you to raise a ticket with our team, so that we access your payment information. Once you do, please let me know a ticket ID in your reply, so that I search up your request internally on our system and make sure a colleague handles it as soon as possible.Wonkieinc I have moved your thread here, so that you check the steps below:1. Unlink account
2. Reboot
3. Uninstall Dropbox
4. Reboot
5. Reinstall Dropbox:
https://www.dropbox.com/downloading?plat=win&type=full (Windows)
https://www.dropbox.com/downloading?plat=mac&type=full (Mac)
6. Relink account
Let me know how the options above work for you, Iâll be awaiting your replies here! - KERDĂL_BD9 years agoExplorer | Level 4
On every product I use it says the Dropbox is full. Android, PC-App,on 2 PC's, Browser etc.
Do you still want me to unlink, because it means I will have to relink manually on every linked device and app. Hell of a job.
Please advise.
Best regards, Jan.

Apologies for the misunderstanding, this set of steps was for Wonkieinc, who mentioned that he received the notification on his desktop.Because youâre getting this message online,would you mind letting me know what you can see once you have a look at your Account tab? From there, you can also check whether there is an active subscription connected to your email for this account.Let me know what you see there in your next message! - KERDĂL_BD9 years agoExplorer | Level 4

Hey KERDĂL_BD, I've removed the screenshots because they showed your email address.
I know you probably just wanted to help make it easy to identify the issue but surfacing email addresses on public forums like this one can be dangerous and is not recommended by Dropbox.
Reading through your previous descriptions, it could be that you have two different Dropbox accounts under two different emails.
You mentioned that you paid yearly, but that there were emails stating we were unable to charge you the monthly fee. If you could find the yearly charge on your credit card statement, you should be able to use our self-serve lookup tool to identify which email address is linked to that yearly subscription: https://www.dropbox.com/payments/find_receipt
Hope that helps! - KERDĂL_BD9 years agoExplorer | Level 4
HI DD1,
Looking at my bank account I changed payment to yearly payment end of November 2016. Before that date I have paid on a monthly basis.
What suprises me is the there's no statement ⏠9.99 in the month October 2016. Could the reason be that one payment is still open? Maybe thats the reason my account is locked.I tried to identify payments at the web page as you suggested. It needs a 12 position code, while on my bank account only 8 positions are shown. Sorry.
Anyway, I hope this takes us a step further.
Regards, Jan.
