So I did what you said, Jay. I dropped myself from the Family Room account, upgraded my personal account using my preferred gmail, and got an email from Dropbox saying "Dropbox payment received, account upgraded." The email has the following: Amount: $127.08
New space: 2.03 TB
Transaction ID: removed
Then my family added me to the Family account using my second email addy.
BUT NOW I can get into the Family account but when I try to save anything to my personal Dropbox (which I just paid $127 for), it says
"You have used 23,422% of your plan's storage" and won't let me save anything to my account.
This is a mess!!! Can you help! I can give you both my emails but I don't think you have the right to unravel this!?!

Hi SharonMac, is it possible that you upgraded a different account?
Have you tried using our self-serve look-up tool, in order to locate the email behind your recent charge? Also, what does your plan page report right now, because it sounds like you're using a Basic account.
