How Do I Reduce Storage Space By Removing files?
I have the basic 2 Gb of storage. I have been sent files as part of a group and am now way over my storage limit. If I delete the files from Drop Box, it removes them for all that are in the share group. How do I remove those files and get under my 2 Gb limit without affecting others' access to them?

You need to leave the shared folder.
