force to upgrade...

Something that I unfortunately can not understand!
My folder on the PC is occupied with only 49.1 MB. Dropbox claims that my folder is full and forces me to upgrade!
I find this is unfair, and I am very disappointed!

What can I do, if I don't want to upgrade????

  • 1. uninstall

    2. Delete all directories with "Dropbox"

    3. reinstall with a new email address.

    At the moment it's ok!!!!

    Check your Backups page.

      What do you mean with this??? Nothing is there! It's empty.

        People that have this issue usually have files being backed up, which also takes space in their account. I was telling you to check your Backups page for any files you were unaware of.

         

        What does your Plan page show for your usage? If possible, take a screenshot, being sure to mask any private information.
