Hi, until yesterday I had 7 or 8 GB of storage space. I bought a new computer and when I downloaded dropbox it said I had only 2 GB and would I please buy more storage. I have no idea what is going on

You have almost certainly accidentally set up a new account rather than logged in to your old one.
Have a look at www.dropbox.com/events - does that show activity from before you bought the new computer and installed Dropbox?

It does show the normal activity prior to the new computer.

Hey Eamonn McDonagh, sorry to jump in, but could you let us know what exactly is reported in your account's plan tab in regards to your quota?
