A Basic account usually has 2GB of space and you've earned another 100GB through a promotion. When that promotion expires your quota will drop back down to 2GB, at which point you'll either need to remove some files to stay below your quota or you'll need to upgrade to a paid plan. You can see a list of the plans available on this page.
