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.

Are those quota's from www.dropbox.com/account AndyL?
Which version of Dropbox?
Also, have you checked you have enough hard drive space? - AndyL9 years agoHelpful | Level 5
Hi Mark,
Thanks for the prompt response. Those quutas are from the account link - and disk space is plentiful. Not sure how to determine the version of dropbox; please advise. Off to bed now so will be a few hours before I respond again.

If you mouse over the Dropbox icon on your status bar it'll tell you the version number (e.g. mine is 23.4.19). - AndyL9 years agoHelpful | Level 5

I have the same problem...

And I have free space:

My dropbox version:

This began when i tried to save a large shared folder in my dropbox account, but I deleted this folder when it throw the "Your Dropbox is full" message warning.
I checked the "Deleted files" folder and this folder is not showing there (this folder was deleted 2 or 3 months ago).
Do I need to create another topic to solve this?

As its the same version Gaabriee please also log a ticket.
Before you do that though please check that you have actually left that share at www.dropbox.com/share as it could still be sitting on some quota. - GaabrieeLp9 years agoNew member | Level 2
Hello Mark,
Is not there, but shared folders quota is included in Account settings > Space section > Shared files, right?

An additional information:
I just upgrade my dropbox today, trying to solve this problem, and the message still showing.

It is included, yes, but, I have seen people get confused previously by the wording of the shared folder error messages when trying to accept a share that is too large for their account
