I'm constantly getting out of space messages
As described at English | The Dropbox Community except now these notifications are coming up every couple of minutes after I dismiss them. This is insane and unworkable. I have 500MB free; that’s more than plenty. I’m nowhere near running out of space. Something’s got to change.

The process begins, and although all of my files are stored offline, the program begins to download them, and ultimately the process stops since my original C: Dropbox folder is out of storage.

Deleted all my files but my account says it's still full.
Device Microsoft Surface 15 Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Windows Issue details: I have been invited to join my attorney's Dropbox to share files. When I try to join it says I am out of storage and need to upgrade. I have now gone in and deleted everything that I can find. There was a shared folder with about 2 GB of photos that I wasn't aware of. But have now deleted it. I sent a help ticket and they had a link to Device Backup - https://www.dropbox.com/backup/all - there I also deleted a device backup with 2 GB How long will it take to be able to join and access my attorney's shared folder. Is there anything else I need to do?The total storage used doesn't match the size of files I see under the All files page.
I'm trying to get my storage down below the 2 GB limit, to go back to the free plan. I've made sure to delete all public files and other folders I wasn't using. I now have only one folder of photos listed under All Files, and the total size listed is 885.1 MB. When I go under the Subscription page, though, it says I'm using 2.2 GB. I initially deleted a huge file of photos, and the total storage number went way down, but now as I try to get it down more, it's like the 2.2 GB won't budge. I've spent hours and hours trying to reduce what I don't need, and I just need to get over the finish line!! It's just so frustrating. Why don't those two numbers match? I just spent over an hour troubleshooting with the Chatbot, with no clear answer...Please help! (Also, why can't I email someone, when it says that's included with my plan?? Infuriating.)Espace de stockage
Bonsoir, Dropbox m'informe que mon espace de stockage basique dépasse 3 Go alors que je n'ai qu'un seul dossier de 91 pages écrit sur le logiciel Pages de mon MacBook air M3, OS 15.7.3. Il y a visiblement quelques chose qui ne colle pas. Merci de m'aider à résoudre cette discordance. Cordialement. Robert Hawawini
Confusion about Dropbox folder and CloudStorage Folder (MacOS)
I'm using Dropbox on a MBP (26.2) and have started having hard drive space issues. In trying to troubleshoot I come across the CloudStorage folder in the Library folder which appears to be occupying almost the same amount of space as my Dropbox folder which is currently in my User Folder. How does the CloudStorage folder function? It appears to be a mirror of the Dropbox folder, but I'm confused as to why it's occupying so much hard drive space. It almost appears as though the Dropbox files on my computer as opposed to being in the cloud are being stored twice. Thanks for your help.
Trying to delete files, not working. I refuse to just buy more storage space.
I am trying to make space in my dropbox on my HP computer, since I am getting a warning about starting to delete files unless I buy more storage space. I absolutely do not want to buy more space! It is a good time to delete some unnecessary files. So now I am permanently deleting all my deleted files, one by one. At some point it does not allow me to delete any more of them. I get no message to explain why, it just does not function. I am pretty sure it just tries to force me to buy more space. Any thoughts on this? Or, do you guys know of any other cloud services that actually allow you to manage your own data?
