I keep getting a message to say my dropbox is full but I have no idea why as I only have a few photos AND it keeps uploading the same photos so I have to keep deleting the duplicates - can you help please?

Thanks for posting on our Community, @shamick59

 

Have you made sure your Backups page online doesn’t contain any backup files that are taking up space?

 

If it does, you can delete those.

 

Let me know what you find.

Hey @shamick59, could you check your account's plan page, and let me know what it reports there in terms of your used quota?
