Storage Space
Looking for help with managing the storage space in your Dropbox account? Talk to the Dropbox Community and get advice from members.
Looks like I lost all the free/bonus storage I earned with promoting Dropbox when it first launch. I currently use 37GB. Dropbox tells me I only have 2GB of available storage. I am pretty sure I had earned much more than that as I never received a notification that I was running out of space until a few days ago.
What does www.dropbox.com/events and www.dropbox.com/account/plan show?

Events shows my recent file events. Nothing like any account downgrades or loss of freebie storage. The account shows
Thanks for screenshot - you actually have 26gb available (see graph). Which is probably about right for a free user. Free users can get up to 16gb of bonus space via referrals - paid users get double, but, it doesnt stay as double once downgraded.

I swear I thought it showed me 2GB not 26GB.
I referred a lot of people and had over 12 gb or space. I started getting out of space messages and now my account says I only have 2 gb. I have a free account with referral space.
Hey @Joelr4, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.
Referral space is permanent and cannot be removed.
Can you please go to the plan tab in your account settings, to see how much space you're using and how much you have available?
