Immediate action advised: your Dropbox account is over capacity.

I am receiving emails that state: "Immediate action advised: your Dropbox account is over capacity."

 

However, I don't think I have any files in my dropbox currently even though it says I have 2.73 GB.

 

Any suggestions on how to figure out what is making up the purported 2.73 gb?

    Looks like everything is in the backups.

     

    That fixed it. Thanks!

    Hey there, Hermosaboy, wishing you a great Monday ahead!

     

    Could you check your account's plan page, and let me know what it reports there?

     

    Do you have any Backups enabled?

     

    Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
