    Thanks, Hannah.

     

    I blitzed the "warning" email, sorry  to say. However....

     

    I subsequently received an email saying, "Your Dropbox deletion request has been fulfilled," which sounds promising — even though was nothing in my account to delete. 😄

     

    If Dropbox sends me another false alarm, I'll post here again. But for now, thank you all for your help. Fingers crossed we're on track.

     

    P.S. Thanks for uploading my screen cap, Rich!

Reply with a screenshot of your usage from your Plan page. It should look like this:

    BywaterNYC, we’re unable to click on this link due to security reasons. Can you attach the image here instead by clicking on this button?

      Hi, Nancy.

       

      After clicking the camera icon, Dropbox displays several blank fields. The first blank field is "Source," containing no further instructions for uploading a file.  How to proceed? Thanks.

        Thanks for that screenshot, BywaterNYC.

         

        Can you also send us a screenshot of the email you received about your account being full?

         

        Just make sure to hide any personal info on the screenshot.
