On Mac air with newest OS. I uninstalled the app, checked the hard drive, restarted the computer, barked at the moon, clapped twice and prayed to allah. The problem remains.
I refuse to pay to upgrade. I cannot sync additional files.

Hey Erlend,
Thanks for writing in about your query!
Just keep in mind that maybe your computer is the one that's running out of space, hence the notification.
If you go per @Mark's suggestion, please let me know here once you have contacted support, so that I follow-up on the case.
Will be awaiting your reply!

Hello everybody,
I have a problem with my Dropbox Account: it is complaining, that I've used up all my storage even though I have barely any files there. By now, I have remove every file out of my dropbox folder (on several devices), I have removed every device from synching, within the cloud storage I have (permanently) deleted every file in "all files" and most files in "shared" -- there are about 37mb of files left in "shared" (that i cant download and deleten and then permanently delete bc dropbox won't let me download them due to "not enough storage space"). Under "Plan" it says that there are 2.4GB of normal files, but there aren't any files. So my question is: how do I delete files I can't see and how do I create some space in my Dropbox?
Hey @RonaldK, welcome to our Community!
Can you send me a few screenshots of what is visible under your plan page?
Is it possible that you're using any Backups to your account?
Keep me posted!

My storage limit is full (files on dropbox are of 14.8 GB, as per the account) but there is only 5.9 GB files in my dropbox folder.
Do you have any backups enabled? Check your Backups page.
Hi my dropbox says "Your Personal Dropbox account is full" but it isn't. When looking at how the storage is divided it says the regular files take up 26GB of my account. Whether I look at "files" on dropbox.com or in the dropbox file on my desktop, it only shows 4 tiny excel files. How can I find the regular files that are filling up my space? Or is this just a bug? Is there anyway to contact dropbox directly? Have been at this for hour hours and I can't find a solution, or even what's causing the problem.
