Why is my account full?

Dropbox is notifying me that my basic storage is almost full.  The files it showed me that I don't have enough content for even 1GB.  I would like to know what is causing my storage to be nearly.  Are there files stored in Dropbox that I can't access?

    I’m dealing with the same issue! I don’t know to access my files to see what is in there. This is basic and I don’t even know this!
