How can I be using 8.69 GB out of 2 GB? Where can I check my actual storage?
Hi! I am Basic (2 Gb) customer. How can it be: "Using 8.69 GB of 2 GB space"? I looked through my Dropbox current content and nowhere didn't find the option to show the real memory storage occupied ...
Thank you, Rich, for your prompt reply.
I do not understand how I can use 8.69 GB of 2 GB space. My Baqckups page is empty. I would like to see space occupation table with exact memory occupied by each item. Is it possible here? Why this first rate information is buried so deep somewhere? How can I plan using DropBox facility with closed eyes?

Dropbox StaffHey, Megan, Here is my Plan page:
Your Personal Dropbox account is full Using 8.7 GB of 5.5 GBRegular files (2.3 GB)Backup (6.4 GB)Replay (0 bytes)Shared files (0 bytes)Sorry for the text format. The option: insert/edit image - does not function at all...
My Backup is empty:
BackupDrop files here to upload,
or use the 'Upload' buttonMore ways to add content
No images - due the same reason. So many features here do not work or work in some strange way. I feel like Alice in the Wonderland and am almost ready to quit.

Let's try something else Vitaaliy.
Would you mind accessing both your Backup page and our Community page through a different browser, please? Just to check if this is a browser-specific issue.
If the Backup page is empty, can you check again if you can upload a screenshot while using a different browser, in order for me to have a visual?
I changed Firefox to Opera (and am now there) with no visible effects. But had some fun. On the screen Backup page is empty, but when I tried to upload there small picture - it cried:
Your Dropbox is full
You can’t upload files because you’re out of storage space. Before you can upload to Dropbox, you need to get more space.
Something is rotten in this Kingdom. Right?Now I'm trying to upload you my screenshots.
The same dump reaction. But I've got a wise remark from Rich (lower): @"... in the past you needed to be at least a Level 3 user". Maybe. I appreciate the bright and deep thoughts of local administration. But now I suspect that they stepped a bit too far: my account is almost empty but they imply the idea to change for more (payed) space. I shall tell this joke to my friends.

It does function, but in the past you needed to be at least a Level 3 user before it was available. I don't know if that's still the case.
Thank you Rich! Now I became already Level 3 user, and we will check your idea.
- No! It did not work.
