    Hey pamikkelsen, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.

     

    This sounds like you or someone using your computer, tried to create a Dropbox Transfer.

     

    Dropbox Transfer is a way of sharing files with others and it has a 100 MB size limit for Basic free accounts, meaning, you can send up to 100 MB of files.

     

    From the "Your Transfer 555 MB out of 100 MB" message, I understand that whoever did this, tried to add more files to the Transfer, than the size limit allows, so the Transfer wasn't even created.

     

    I think you're good to ignore this, but if you want to check your Transfers, you can take a look at this page

     

    I hope this helps, but let me know if you have other questions!
