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?

Hi JScott56, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Could you check this page to see if your quota is being taken up by shared folders or a Dropbox Backup?
This will help me to assist further!
- Emilieaallen2New member | Level 2I’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!
