Inconsistencies regarding my available space and feedback about Dropbox

Hi Phunkeesea
I have exactly the same problem. It seems as though Dropbox just want you to sign up. I haven't added to my account since 2013 and all of a sudden I have no data space left. Strange that, as it has been fine for the last 10 years! A person from Dropbox seemed quite helpful to try to solve what is causing the problem but it seems the things she is asking me to check just don't exist. I think I am going to give up with it and try to find a more stable alternative. Good luck with sorting yours.

Hi LesleyHall, if your quota has run out without any input, is it possible you're a member of a shared folder where someone else has uploaded files? This does take up quota on your account.
Hi Jay
Other family members who have access to the account have not used it in a long time as well, to the point that they had forgotten they have access to Dropbox! So no, nothing has been added.

Hope you don't mind me jumping in, LesleyHall.
Did you previously have any additional space, which has now expired, causing your Dropbox account to go over-quota perhaps?
Did you receive this message about not having more storage after trying to upload a new file/folder or did this happen all of a sudden, even though you had taken no actions on your Dropbox account?

Hey LesleyHall, thanks for the additional info.
Is your space all used up indeed? What does the plan tab in your account settings show?
Are you still receiving these emails?
And have you checked the size of your files in Dropbox, to see which ones are taking up your space?
