It sounds like you're a member of a shared folder that is taking up all the quota on your account.

Thank you! Am I doing this through my personal dropbox or through my works dropbox?
- JayYou'll need to do this through your personal Dropbox account, since this is the account that has run out of space.
Thank you Jay! I did this and also deleted everything in my dropbox but it still says that I need to upgrade my account to 2TB? Or does it just take a while to refresh?

Deleting via the site would be faster, but again, can vary in speed if there's a lot of files to delete.
Are you now below your quota level on your personal account?
