Why does another user have less quota than me?
Trying to share several folders with a new user. After adding several folders, the user is out of space. The user only shows to have 2GB of storage, but I have 3.3 GB. Why did they start off with less space than I have?

All accounts start with 2gb. You must have earnt extra space via referrals or promotions.

Hi TroyWells2207, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
When you create a new Dropbox account, the Basic plan has 2 GB of quota. If you use referrals and other methods, you can increase this amount of quota for free.
Most likely, you have earned quota on your account, and they haven't yet. You can see your earned quota on this page.
If you need any further assistance, please let me know!
