Why do you say I have no space when I do?

I am using 2.81 GB of 6.75 GB so why did dropbox send this email- This is a friendly reminder that your Dropbox is almost full! Sadly, it won't save any new changes until it's back in shape. Upgrad...

    And I'm back...

    Yes, due to a technical issue the emails were incorrectly sent. There are 2 near-quota programs that should only email users +90% of quota, ​​it seems since probably around yesterday, that its been running incorrectly and doubled the amount of used bytes... so users that are 40-50% of quota are appearing as 80-100% of quota.

    We'll make the change and no further users should receive this email incorrectly after the weekend. 

    (I'll try and get it stopped and reconfigured sooner than that of-course, but I just give that timeframe as that's the latest I expect all the updates to take to apply.)

    Many thanks for highlighting here and saving other users the pain!

Why am I getting a Dropbox almost full email?  It even says it won't save any new changes.  Is this spam?  I am using less than half of my Dropbox space.
