Weird email regarding my quota

I got this mail that said "Eligibility confirmed: Pär, you'll lose access to your files if you don't act soon!"

I don't understand why? They said I could upgrade and pay for more space, but what has that to do with losing access to my files? Looked legit, but is it a scam?

    Hi Pelleba, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Could you clarify what email you're referring to?

     

    A screenshot (while hiding any personal info) would help me greatly!

        No camera icon and can't copy and paste from Phone storage. But what I Wonder is in the text: will I lose access to my current files if I don't pay for extended space?
