My quota isn't correct

I have 9.8Gb of dropbox storage, I received a message to ask me to upgrade to the latest app version telling me that i had only 2.86gb of storage !

I obtained this amount following the purchase of a samsung phone a few years ago, I am on a free account

I didn't upgrade as this would lose me a significant amount of data

 

Any idea what is going on ?

    Hi windyb, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Could you see how much quota you have on your account from this page?

     

    A screenshot of this would help greatly!

        I am disappointed that nobody is helping or even replying to my issue. 

        Shall I assume that there is no solution and I will lose most of my storage if I upgrade ?

        Maybe there is a way to ask dropbox support ?
