How can I check how much storage space I'm using?

By mistake I copied some big files to DropBox today, exceeding my quota.

I got a warning and removed the files ASAP. 
However, this warning stated that I had a 2GB plan, which is wrong. In the old days, my quota was extended with approx 4GB because of some referrals and other campaigns. 

How can I check if there was a mishap that resulted in a reset of my account (back to 2GB)?

    You can see the space you've earned on your Referrals page.

      Thank you, Rich!

      The Referrals page confirmed I earned an additional 4.25 GB.

      A bit annoying that this is shown
