Space is empty and full at the same time!

I just signed into Dropbox and I have not upload anything on Dropbox. But it consecutively says "Your Dropbox is full and has stopped syncing."
I just have some content that somebody else shared with me.

    Shared content use up the quota of everybody in it. If you do not need read/write access to the files ask the other person to send you a link instead.

      Thanks.
      That's unreasonable tho! Dropbox gives 2G of free space; I already have 14G of data my friend shared with me! And I am continuously getting warning stating I won't be able to open the files.

        IF you only need to download 14GB of data from a friend, then ask them to transfer it to you using wetransfer.com - the free version is all you need to transfer 2TB at any one time..

        I haven't had anyone share large files sizes with me, but with only 40 MB in my Dropbox to share with 2 other people, its been telling me too that my Dropbox is full and has stopped syncing....grrrr...can't solve this yet!!! Any tips? cheers, Ali
