Dropbox wants me to upgrade, but I shouldn't need to

I have a Dropbox Basic Account, but when I check online it says I'm using 0% of my storage. All I use Dropbox for is to look at a colleague's file when I need to and occasionally download it.

    Did you also check which email address it arrived to? Did you get this at the same email address as the one that’s linked to your Dropbox account here?

     

    I just want to make sure you don't have a second Dropbox account that has gone over-quota indeed.

I've now had another threatening email, allegedly from Dropbox. It came from 

<no-reply@em-s.dropbox.com>

    I think you may have hit on the problem Nancy. I'll investigate this other account and cancel it if I can.

    Thank you, that was the explanation, so I've sorted it!
