Dropbox StaffHey DG44 and Federico_C, thanks for reaching out to us.
If you're receiving emails that you have less space available than your actual available space, as shown in the plan tab of your account settings, you'll first need to check if the email address these emails are coming to, is the same as the one you use for your Dropbox account.
It might just mean that you have another account you forgot you had.
If that's not the case, can you please send me a screenshot of the email you received and a screenshot of what you see in the plan tab?
Just make sure to hide any personal info on the screenshots.
Thanks.
Thanks for the reply, Hannah. Is there a way I can email you the screenshots? Obviously if I hide any personal info, you won't be able to see it.

Hey DG44, thanks for the screenshots!
It seems this email is our usual short of notification when a user's storage is above 50%.
In your case, this seems to be correct since 6.3GB is approximately 64% of your total quota. As for the 1GB left, you can ignore that as a false alarm, and go with what your plan page shows.
