    Hi jen2fe 

     

    You are nearly out of space - you only have 74mb of space left based upon the data you posted below. Shared folders use up the quota of every person within the share UNLESS you are a licensed team member of a Business plan. So, your colleagues either have more space, a paid plan or are part of a paid team.

Using 642MB of free 2.75GB.  Even so, synching stopped and bell message suggests upgrading because I've gone beyond the free limit.  Why, I've not gone beyond the free limit?

    Hi dtdoupe, I'd be happy to help you!

     

    Can you send me a screenshot of the message you got? Also, what does your plan page right here, show? 

     

    Let me know more, and we'll take it from there.
