    Hi jen2fe 

     

    You are nearly out of space - you only have 74mb of space left based upon the data you posted below. Shared folders use up the quota of every person within the share UNLESS you are a licensed team member of a Business plan. So, your colleagues either have more space, a paid plan or are part of a paid team.

Hey Vika85, sorry to hear about this.

 

Can you let us know what your plan tab reports in regards to your quota at the moment and when's the last time you got this email? 

 

Thanks!

Hi Walter!
Thank you for getting in touch!

I have a Dropbox Basic plan with a personal Dropbox space of 5.75GB in total. The last email I have received was on September 3th, and I have been receiving the emails rather often since a while now. I’d appreciate any help!
Best,
Veronica

    And what about the used space Vika85?

     

    Are you near your account's quota limit? How many emails have you received about this so far (recently)?

        Hi from me too, Vika85!

         

        Do you mind sending over a screenshot of one of these emails you keep receiving? I’d like to have a visual.

         

        Just make sure to mask any personal info that may be showing, like your own email address.

         

        Apart from that, can you clarify what’s the email address of the sender?
