I paid for an upgrade, but still have no space and would like to restore deleted files
First of all, thanks to all who answered my previous question - but the plot thickens and this is a bit complicated. So here goes: A) My One Drive is up and running and I would prefer to use One Dr...
- 5 years agoThe Dropbox Transfer plan has the same quota as the Basic plan, meaning you get 2 GB of quota.
The 100 GB is for using the Transfer feature on your account, which on a normal Basic plan would be 100 MB. The files could be uploaded directly into a transfer to be sent to someone.

5 years agoThanks John, but I'm afraid that this is the universal link used to access the plan tab in Dropbox.
This link will open up my own Dropbox plan page, not yours.
A screenshot of yours would be great, though!
Thanks!

Hannah, not sure how much of that screenshot you can see, but I did my best - so again, I understand that I cannot have Dropbox and OneDrive at the same time. I run a blog and amass many photos so I need to know that I have backup if I need a particular image. I have NOTHING against Dropbox and OneDrive is on par in terms of cost - but I am on a fixed income and really don't relish another bill - yet I need the storage - so I am open to all and sundry suggestions, ideas - what have you. Whatever the outcome, thanks so much for your saintly patience, good humor and great help - it is absolutely appreciated - make it a great day!

Hi Astrojon917, it looks like you're on a plan that doesn't provide enough space on your account for the files to sync.
Since you mentioned that you upgraded to a larger plan, please could you clarify exactly what plan is written on the account page?
Alternatively, you can see your recent payments which would give the name of the plan type.- Astrojon9175 years agoHelpful | Level 5
Hey Jay, thanks for your swift reply.
It's the Dropbox Transfer plan - one would pay $8 annually for 100 GB - I just remitted $10 for the same amount of space - I misspoke, as I am wont to do when I mentioned an upgrade of my plan. What I wanted to say is that I paid for, what I believed, to be ample storage only to find out that I am out of space. It doesn't align with what I paid nor with what I expected. I believe I remitted payment on or about September 6 or 7 - right now, I'm using 11.95 MB and I'm maxed out - I would think the 100GB I paid for would have given more than enough storage space - even allowing for the 11.95 MB overage.
