    I m struggling with similar problem, Dropbox broke and keep showing it's full when it's not. I don't need 2 TB space. The amount i had it's enough for me, but only if it works. So far from 4,76gb it looks like he thinks I have 2gb. Could you please also advise me what to do?

    Hey MartiS, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

     

    Could you please let us know what exactly is reported in your account's plan tab?

     

    Do you have any shared folders in your account perhaps?

     

    Any additional information is more than welcome!

    I have the same issue where it tells me to upgrade because I am full, but I am not.  

    I have nothing set to back up to drop box.  

    I had a promotional 5 GB plan when I bought my computer.  That expired but I didn't need anything but the basic plan as you can see because I only have 1.01 GB of data and the basic plan is 2 GB.  

     

    I have found nothing that can make my account be "okay" or reset to the plain basic account,.

    Hi mom4larsens,

    Where did you decide from that you have 1.01GB? 🧐 As far as can be seen only the private content you have is 101.2GB!!! Much more than 2GB Basic plan' space, in spite available to you is 4.75GB space (take a look here, where additional space comes from). Together with all shared content in you account (679MB - according to you post), total space engaged rise up to 101.9GB. Take in mind that all shared files/folders get count to your engaged space both when you are sharing and you are receiving shared content. 🤷 It's not fair, I know.

    Hope this clarifies matter.
