Thanks Megan! I do need something else please. If you read the description, I'm getting e-mails from Dropbox that I'm over my storage limit because I uploaded files to a client's Dropbox folder and now Dropbox is counting their folder against my storage limit.
I need tech support, but I can't contact them because the support page doesn't let a free account submit a ticket or talk to technical support.
So can someone please fix this problem so I don't keep getting e-mails that someone else's storage has pushed my account over its limit?
