My account keeps saying it's full - but it isn't
Hi - I have a 6.3 GB basic account with less that 1.2 GB of data in it, but I keep getting notifications saying the account is full, and it isn't syncing. I've double checked my folders and cleaned out all deleted items, but it makes no difference. I have been unable to contact any sort of support through the website, so am hoping someone might know how to fix this. Thanks.

Hi ngiglietto76, and sorry for jumping in.
In the future, please avoid sharing your account credentials with anyone, especially on a public forum where everyone can see them. I’ve removed them from the thread, but just in case, I’d strongly recommend changing your password to make sure no one else can sign in to your Dropbox account.
Since we also can’t sign in to your account due to security reasons, we’ll need to gather more info on this.
Can you please take a screenshot of what you see here and here, so that I can have a look for you?

I don't see any active backups on my end. Here are what those screens look like. I have about 22mb of files in my dropbox now. Nothing else. No backups no shared folders, no deleted files. I've gotten rid of everything.

I created account some years ago, when I received 16GB as a promotion. Since this time I use Dropbox as my private storage. Some time ago I got the message, that my DB account is full - used 27Gb of allowed 16Gb.
I don't have even 16GB, not saying about 27. I deleted a lot of old staff, but have the same message - you use 27Gb instead of allowed 16 and invitation to buy new plan.
if anybody met this before?
