Re: Dropbox WRONGLY says my Basic Account is over limit.

Dropbox wrongly says my Basic account is over the quota limit.

My Basic Account DID exceed the 2GB limit.

I promptly reduced contents to 477 MB. There are NO BACKUPS taking up space.

I am STILL getting reminders that my Account is full.

I have screenshots to illustrate everything.

All this is immensely frustrating and time-consuming.

Please what can I do? Whom can I email in Dropbox to explain everything?

Awesome news @KOIN!

 

Yeah, it seems that your Backup was taking up a lot of your account's quota.

 

If you need anything else, don't hesitate to let me know!

Hey @EHrl-789 - thanks for the screenshos! 

 

When did you receive the last email notification about being over or near your account's quota limit?

Thanks, Walter.

The answer is: 21 July '24.  Have sent you screenshot of the reminder.

Hi again, @EHrl-789! Thanks for all the screenshots. 

 

It may take some time for the emails to stop coming in from the moment you've deleted your files from Dropbox (which I understand happened on the 07/18).

 

Are you seeing anywhere else on your Dropbox account that you’re currently over-quota?
