Did you previously have any additional space, which has now expired, causing your Dropbox account to go over-quota perhaps?
Did you receive this message about not having more storage after trying to upload a new file/folder or did this happen all of a sudden, even though you had taken no actions on your Dropbox account?
Hi Nancy
It happened all of a sudden. I have not sent anything to my DropBox for the last 10 years. I didn't get around to moving the data on it to somewhere else being as I don't use it, and haven't for the last 10 years! Unless there are files in there I can't see...but what would be the point of that?
I really can't see any other reason for it to suddenly bombard me with links to 'upgrade' the account saying I'm out of storage space, other than that's what DropBox want me to do. It's not the way to ask me to pay for storage that has been free in the past. If that was why it happened then why not say that is what they want me to do? It just doesn't make sense!
