Recently, I was given a notice that my storage was almost full so, naturally curious, I looked at the current capacity and it showed a basic 2gb of storage.
Are you sure that's not just referring to the space included with your Basic account? Have you looked at your Plan page to see what your actual usage is? Also, your Referrals page will show you any bonus space you've earned, and whether or not it has expired.

I had a similar issue. Was using DB for a PTF file share years ago. Started using it again recently. I added very few files and got a message I was at capacity. I deleted a TON of files and it still says I'm at capacity. Not sure how that can be true......

Hey,
I have the same issues. The standard plan with 2GB applies to my account plus 16GB auf referrals. Look here.

Thanks

HI drp4positive, technically, the message isn't stating that your account is overquota.
It is saying that you're getting close to your quota limit and running out of storage, which could result in some files not being synced if you do go overquota on your account.
