Are you sure about having 106GB of space? The most space that you can earn through referrals is 16GB on a free account, and 32GB on a paid account. This is how it's always been, though there were other time limited ways to earn a some space as well.

 

Referral space is permanent and Dropbox doesn't remove it (unless it was earned in a fraudulent manner), but other types of bonus space, such as from mobile or computer purchases, do expire.

 

Your Referrals page will show you a list of all the space you've earned along with that which has expired. Also, check your Plan page and take a screenshot of your actual usage and post it here.
