dropbox says "not enough space" even though I have 2 GB and only 1 file with 35kb is saved :/
Hello,
I cannot understand why dropbox says "not enough space" even though I have 2 GB and only 1 file with 35kb is saved. This is the first time since many years that this happens. 😕
Thank you ...

I have only used 3% of 16.9G of space but I am constantly told I don't have space to import and upload my files despite them only being megabytes in size.
I need to be able to plug a camera in and have the files automatically pulled from the camera onto my HD.
This message prevents this from happening and is a real pest.
Why, when I have acres of storage space am I told I don't have enough left?

Are you sure the message is referring to the amount of space available in your Dropbox account, and not the amount of available hard drive space? Remember that the Dropbox folder on your computer is a regular folder like any other and it takes up space on your drive. If your drive is full you won't be able to import files from your camera to the Dropbox folder.

Hey FixMyRun, sorry to jump in, but can you clarify if you're noticing this behavior with the latest stable version of our desktop app?
If you do, can you also check if this is happening with other devices too? Apart from the camera you mentioned that is.
