Low on Storage Space but I have plenty

Low on Storage Space but I have plenty

I don't have a business Dropbox plan and don't share files.  Properties say I only have 328 MB used but I keep getting notifications that I am running out of space.  I'm on a free 2 GB plan.

Have you set up backups? www.dropbox.com/backups ?

What are backups? I don't think I have enough files to need it.

Regardless of if you think you need it or not did you check that link? It is very likely you have activated them by accident.

Ok, I think I disabled and deleted backups.

How do I know if that worked?
