    Hey @dreampainter, thanks for posting to the Dropbox Community.

     

    Can you go to this page, and let me know if you have any issues accessing your files?

      That link took me to the same page where it tells me I'm out of space and to buy more storage. Pls send me another solution. Many thanks.
