I can't access shared folder due to lack of storage space - do I need to upgrade?
I use dropbox occasionally. I have a free account, one I've had for years. This morning I logged in to access some files a friend shared w/me & dropbox will not let me access it unless I upgrade to some "plan". That page is the same page with which I was greeted upon logging in. I'm at about 650 mg of my 2G free account limit. I am not over storage, unless my free account has been somehow restricted/modified. I've tried several times to access the notification to "join folder" from my friend, only to be taken to this prompt:
Why is my account full because of shared files?
Hello ! I have no files on my Dropbox Basic, but connected to 2.3 GB shared files. The shared files are not my files – someone else is paying a fee to store them on Dropbox. Is that an error that Dropbox is asking me to upgrade for accessing the shared files or just a way for Dropbox to get paid twice...?! Thank you for sharing your opinion... :)
Error that I've run out of space when trying to open a folder shared with me
I have just tried to open a folder that has been shared with, and it automatically brings up the upgrade window, stating that I have run out of space. But according to the details in my account, I am only using 2.6M out of an available 2GB. The file is definitely no where near 2GB, but it won't let me get any further or view anything, beyond the upgrade account page.I can't upload content to a shared folder, because my account is full.
i upload my work to a shared folder of sum1 elses account which has lots of storage space, it constantly tells me its full, but its my own account that is full not the shared folder of the other persons account how can i stop this from happening as its very frustrating, drop box does seem to be getting confused as to what is full and what isn't
If I upgrade but someone else doesn't can they still access shared folders?
I'm on the basic dropbox plan (2GB) and my storage is full so I was going to upgrade but I have an important shared folder that is going to exceed 2GB. If I upgrade to the next tier will the other person (who hasn't upgraded past 2GB) still be able to open the shared folder or will they also have to upgrade?
I'm using 750 MB out of 12 GB of space but it says that I need to upgrade to join a folder
Help please... I have the basic ..., I referred a few friends in the past. So I got 12.75 gig of space... Now a friend wants me to join his folder on his dropbox... but when I click his link..., I got the "need upgrade" page..., and I can't access his folder ... I don't have anything in my "backup" folder... Whats wrong? Can somebody help me please? TIA.
