Hi @mmakabeh, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Could you clarify the exact quota visible on this page on your account?

Could you attach or paste a screenshot of the plan page in order to understand what you're looking at?

I was losing my storage and I had 4.5 Gig. 

I could not update my file's and suddenly I was using 4.5 Gig of my 2.0 gig space. 

I added the extra storage for 2 Tetra out of lack of choice or respond form Dropbox.. But I originally had 4.5 gig due to the fact that i introduced several people and they added dropbox.  So i had 2.0 Gig of standard free plus 2.5 Gig for bonus for bringing new clients. 

I don't have access to the notes because all have changed.

Do you happen to have another Dropbox account, associated with a different email address of your perhaps @mmakabeh?

 

Also, have you managed to grab a screenshot of your plan tab for us?

No not at this time - no other account .

As I was stressed and lost some of my updates in teh last few days last week. I ended up signing up for am upgrade. 

If you could access my account your will see that i had approx. 4.5 Gigs and the system says I only had 2.0 Gigs of space.. How could that be possible since i had twice as much data in 2.0 storage space??

Need more support?
