Why do you say I have no space when I do?
I am using 2.81 GB of 6.75 GB so why did dropbox send this email-
This is a friendly reminder that your Dropbox is almost full! Sadly, it won't save any new changes until it's back in shape. Upgrad...
And I'm back...
Yes, due to a technical issue the emails were incorrectly sent. There are 2 near-quota programs that should only email users +90% of quota, it seems since probably around yesterday, that its been running incorrectly and doubled the amount of used bytes... so users that are 40-50% of quota are appearing as 80-100% of quota.
We'll make the change and no further users should receive this email incorrectly after the weekend.
(I'll try and get it stopped and reconfigured sooner than that of-course, but I just give that timeframe as that's the latest I expect all the updates to take to apply.)
Many thanks for highlighting here and saving other users the pain!
Why am I getting a Dropbox almost full email? It even says it won't save any new changes. Is this spam? I am using less than half of my Dropbox space.
