Hi Michael Todd 

 

Sharing is not revoked for being over quota - that just stops syncing happening. However, if you use too much bandwidth (i.e. by lots trying to download a large file) then it is suspended. As a free user you usually get 20gb/day on a rolling 24 hours. 

 

There is no way to reactivate that immediately (unless you pay to upgrade) but it should auto clear within a day or so if its your first time banned.

    Hi Mark, yes this is the first time this has happened, this was over two weeks ago and hasn't cleared yet so hoping someone can clear it for me. Cheers
