Storage on a family account not full but not allowing me to add files
I am a member of a family account (not the manager) and we have a 2TB plan, the plan has only had 1.1TB of storage used, I am trying to add more files but it is saying I don't have enough space.

Are you actually a member of the Family plan, or did someone on the Family plan just invite you to join a shared folder? If it's a shared folder, then you don't have access to the 2TB of space in the Family plan. You're still limited to the available space in your own account.
What plan does it say you're on when you check your Plan page?

Great point Rich, I have double checked and I am a memeber of the family plan. On the plan page it says my subscription is Dropbox family, then goes on to say the familiy is using 54.83% ofour 2TB. My usage is showing as 1.03Gb files, and 1.14Gb of back ups
