Dropbox says I'm using 2.33GB, but my device shows I'm using 184MB.
Dropbox says I'm using 2.33 of my 2 Gb storage. My computer shows I'm using 184 Mb. Huge difference! But I cannot upload any new files because I'm "over the limit."

The size on desktop properties say I'm using 184 MB. Online, I'm told I'm using 233 of 225 Gb. It will not allow me to upload new files.

DonnaES, to clarify, are you unable to upload new files via your web account or your desktop app (even though it says you’re not over-quota)?
If you compare the email address you see here with the one you see on your desktop app, are they the exact same?
Finally, I’d like a screenshot of what you see on this page.

@DonnaES is not my email. It is [removed per the Community's Guidelines]. Here's the screenshot.

Thanks for the screenshot DonnaES
It seems that there are some backups in your account that are taking up the mentioned space.
Could you have a look at your backups page and let us know if that's the case?
If so, you can delete them to make up some space.

I deleted the files I don't want. Told me I had to go to backup settings, which I couldn't get to. Except now these files are showing in the Deleted folder, which will, it seems, be permanently deleted in 30 days. Will that solve the problem?
