Hey JFC1812, does your Dropbox account use the same email address where you received the message about the space? Could you have a second account under a different email address?

Hello, Have you been regularly active on that account? I ask because, according to Dropbox's policy, accounts are automatically deactivated and files deleted if there's 12 months of inactivity

Hi Maher1882
Yes the account is active and i can access files but at 2 gb i am told i need more space but my account says i have 7.75 gb. it seem Dropbox are not honouring the additional space i earned by inviting new users. and i cant find a way to discuss it with them - maher19822 years ago

Maybe it's the back up files, What does your Backups page report? Could you please check your quota level on this page and let us know what you see about your Personal Dropbox space?

Hey JFC1812, thanks for reaching out to us.
What do the plan tab in your account settings report about your space usage and your bonus space?
And how are you getting notified that you're out of space? Are you getting some kind of email notification?
