Family plan member space appears to be full

I'm a member of the family package. I keep receiving messages saying my Dropbox storage is almost full and need to upgrade. But our package has plenty spaces.

    Hi Team 

     

    I've recently been added as a team member on a Family Plan.

     

    However, I'm getting a message saying my Dropbox is full and I need to upgrade. 

     

    I know there is plenty of space available.  Are you able to advise what settings the account holder needs to change in order for me to have access to the additional storage space?  

     

    Many thanks

      Hi Liz63, let's jump right into this!

       

      The first thing we would need to check is your account's plan page, and what it reports there. Can you check, and get back to me?

       

      Keep me posted!

        Hi Megan

         

        Thanks for the follow up! 

         

        Upon checking the accounts page it says I'm on a basic plan.  My boss (who owns the account) has added me to his Family Plan account.  However, it hasn't updated the storage to allow me to upload documents.  I can access Dropbox, I just can't upload anything due to lack of storage.  

         

        Are you able to advise what settings he needs to change to enable storage for me?  

         

        Many thanks.
