My dropbox say I have low disk space and won't sync but I have still 25Gb free space
I've just redid my whole system and reinstall dropbox as well.
I've also updated to win 10.
Any idea anybody?
Probably, or, if you dont need everything in Dropbox on your machine then use Selective Sync to remove things from Dropbox from your local machine - www.dropbox.com/help/175

Hi Janos
This message might be related to the space on your hard disk, not on Dropbox. You can use the Selective Sync feature to save space from your HD.
Hope this helps,

No, not really.
The problem is that I do have space on local HDD and on my account!
I have a 2TB HDD with 10s of GB-ts of free space and 1TB dropbox account (what I'm paying for monthly), with 650GB free space.
It would be nice to have some answers from some support line, as I am paying for something and it's not working properly. - Rich

Since today I get on my MAC the message, my HD is full and synchronization cant be done because of it.
I'm using 36% of my DropBox 1TB space and my MAC has 371 GB free from a total of 959 GB.
There's for sure something wrong on Dropbox to analyze properly the HD.I have try to navigate on the "Technical assistance" but can't get an answer.
I have try to make a contact but I'm just looping back to assistance ....
On 2nd of October I shall renew my annual agreement ..... If 1st of October the issue is not close I will NOT renew to a service which DO NOT synchronize for some bug.
NO SERVICE NO MONEY!!!CAPISCI?

Hi Dropbox
I keep getting this message that my dropbox is full. But it not. I havent even used 50%
Hi Jim,
Your Dropbox is no longer syncing because it's full. That means we can't back up new files you add to your Dropbox or sync to your other devices.So what can I do to stop this annoying messages and emails I get?
Best regards
Jim

If it's an email it's likely a fake one. Forward it to abuse@dropbox.com.

Jim, I have the same problem. Since I have pleanty of space in my dropbox account having deleted 100s of photo and 2/3 space on my hard drive empty nor are my e-mail fake, I have decided that it is just Dropbox's attempt to have me upgrade to get money. I am very discouraged with Dropbox as a service.
I will be very interested if you find a solution.

My issue is similar to helen.
i got the message that drop box was full. I deleted maybe 3/4 of photos from dropbox. Since then i continue to get the same notice. I emptied my recycle.. i restarted computer. I waited and waited. So far i still get same message. Dropbox is full over and over for weeks now.
dropbox is useless without a solution.
and yes i waded through your faq s .
I dont know what else to do but gather my files and go home.

If you're receiving this notice in an email, it's likely fake, meaning not actually from Dropbox. Forward it to abuse@dropbox.com and just go about your normal Dropbox business.
