About to reach maximum capacity with... no personal file posted !?!

Hi,

 

I am harassed by emails warning me that my 2GB free capacity is about to be reached.

 

I have absolutely no personal files on Dropbox but a RW access to a 3TB community space.

I do not intend to use personal space, so every member of our group buying 3TB each is not a solution.

What did I misunderstood?


How to get rid of these warning mails ?

    As the shared folder is in your account it uses your quota. Therefore you need enough space to be able to put it in your account. Your account does not benefit in any way from the other users upgrade.

      I also have the problem that I probably downloaded a shared files into my account which are over the 2TB limit.  Actually, I never intended to download these folders.  I only want to access the files on the other users account and to be able to upload to that users account.  How do I delete these files off my account and my computer?  If I delete them on my computer, will they also delete from the other users shared account?  Thank you.
