    Well, don’t I feel stupid! My plan is actually the free plan which is only a paltry 3.75GB, so less than your regular DVD. So 3.1GB is not an unreasonable point at which to send me a warning.
    Cheers.

      I apologize for the delay, the screen shot request was difficult via the mobile ap.  Attached is my screen shot showing 0% of 2GB used. The emails to upgrade continue, with a threat to lock me out of the account.  Makes me not want to use this application.

        Are you sure you don't have another account that this could be referring to? Are the emails arriving on the same email address that you see on this page?
