Hey,

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

    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.
