My Dropbox account is showing that it's out of space while it's not

No file is updating/syncing even after clearing my storage, what is the solution? The screenshot shows clearly the total file size right now in my dropbox. 

  • Hi there, Shahriar Sanzid, thanks for joining the Dropbox Community.

    If your account shows that it's out of space, when seemingly it's not, you need to check two things:

    1. If you have any shared folders in your account (shared folders take up space in each member's account)
    2. If you have any backup files

     

    Let me know what you find!
