How can I delete files from my over-quota Dropbox Basic account without upgrading to a paid plan?
Question or Issue I have a basic free account which is over the storage limit. I'd like to be able to delete some files so that I'm back in compliance as I really don't need much storage since I'm not working anymore. Apparently, I'm not able to do this without upgrading ($ pay more - at least $9.99/month) to a larger account. This is very frustrating. Any way around this aside from paying for a month and then cancelling or something?
Whose Dropbox account gets charged for storage space, if we share files with each other?
Dropbox Plan basic Device desktop computer Operating System/Browser (if using the web) windows 11 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) using website Question or Issue If someone puts a folder of photographs out there for me to view, does MY account get charged with the amount of storage taken up by those files, or does the account of the owner who put the files (photos) out there get charged, or both?
I received an email stating I've used all my promotional space, but this isn't the case.
I received an email from Dropbox this morning that basically contains lies. Now I know misinformation is becoming the norm over the pond, but I'd like to think that here in the UK we can keep a reasonable amount of truth in our communications. The email (below) claims I have used all of the free 100GB Dropbox allocated me when I purchased an HP laptop. However, a simple look at my quota used shows that not to be the case. I'd like to think that this is some form of "mistake", but I feel it is a cynical attempt to get those who are not IT savvy to worry they are about to lose information and subscribe to an upgrade they do not need. Anyone else getting these lies sent them??
