Thanks for posting here, Distorted Vision!
In case you haven't checked this already, can you please go here and let me know if you see any backups on your Dropbox account? This may be one reason why you seem to have more files stored at the moment.
Also, I'd like you to send me one more screenshot of what you see here, if you don't mind.
Let me know when you're ready.

Hi Nancy,

My Dropbox is now normal and the quota usage is as expected.
Many thanks for your help!
