People that have this issue usually have files being backed up, which also takes space in their account. I was telling you to check your Backups page for any files you were unaware of.

 

What does your Plan page show for your usage? If possible, take a screenshot, being sure to mask any private information.

      Hey menaralf, can you let us know where you saw that your Dropbox is full?

       

      Did you get some kind of email, or a pop-up notification? A screenshot would also be helpful.

        I have uninstalled "Dropbox" from my PC! Should I install it again without upgrading?
