Dropbox Says It's "Out Of Space"

...but it's not! It says I'm only using 41.3% of 7.0 GB! Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

    Is this message in an email? If so it could be fake. Forward it to abuse@dropbox.com.

    If the message is coming from the Dropbox client or webpage, then you must be over your limit. You can see how much space you have and how much is in use on your Account page. Note that Basic accounts get 2GB to start, not 5GB.
