Hi Paul!
When you join a shared folder, that folder now resides in your Dropbox too and therefore takes up space.
Your Dropbox quota is calculated based on the total contents of your Dropbox, which includes shared folders. A Dropbox account can't sync more than its quota, so a 2 GB account can't sync more than 2 GB, including the space taken up by shared folders. Because every member of a shared folder can add and modify the files in the shared folder, the shared folder takes up space in each member's account. This policy exists to prevent people from giving themselves unlimited space by stacking Basic accounts and shared folders.
If you need a little more space, you can visit the following pages on our website to see how you can earn bonus space:

I keep getting a 'Your Dropbox is full." notification, even after I deleted most of my files. Why is this happening? Does this mean I have to begin paying for more space even though I am not using all the space?
I am getting the same error message (it's a business account) but it says I've used 500Gb out of 2Gb. And when I check my files, I only have 700Mb.
It is definitely not the hard drive space on my computer - free space on the C drive is 231Gb.
Any suggestions? How can I contact DB support directly?
