Your Dropbox storage is reaching maximum capacity.
I get an email from Dropbox this AM stating this, causing a touch of panic and incredulity, and wasting my time to investigate. I've been a solid customer for five years, paying for 2TB of space...

Thanks, Hannah. Sure enough, over the years other users had uploaded files for me to the wrong email address, therefore wrong dropbox account. Unwittingly, I'd download or move them to my preferred user folder, not ever noticing that other account existed. Possibly I'd created it years ago, before this preferred one, and forgotten about it. Regardless, I got a chat=helper to walk me through deleting that account.

Hey petermooreworld, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.
Can you double-check to make sure that this email went to the address associated with your paid account?
Is it possible that it went to a different address, thus regarding a different account?
Let me know what you find.
