Hey guys, I have around 0.5TB data on my 2TB Dropbox. What happens with that 0.5TB data when i downgrade to the free version? Will it all be deleted or will it just not be accessible anymore? (Just...
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to add clarity to this old thread.
If youâre a Dropbox Basic user, you'll have a free storage limit of 2 GB. If you exceed your storage quota, you may be subject to data deletion, and sync and upload restrictions. You may also experience restrictions on sharing and previewing files and folders.
Youâll receive notifications about the deletion of your most recent data to make room within your plan limit.
To prevent deletion, we recommend that Basic users manage their files to align with the plan limit or consider upgrading to a higher-tier plan for additional storage.

Initially, nothing will happen. Your data will remain in your account and it will still be accessible, but syncing will stop if you're over quota. You'd still be able to download or delete files through the Dropbox website if needed. You just couldn't make any changes or add more files.
If you then don't access your account for more than a year, it would be deleted due to inactivity along with all content.
