Hi,
I have no more acess my files because my Dropbox is full. I'm encouraged to upgrade it. But I don' want tu upload any files more, I just would like to have access to those which are already...

I got this email today, similar to ones I've been getting for a long time:
Hi **bleep**,
URGENT: Your Dropbox is full and is no longer syncing files. You've reached the limits of your current plan. New files will only be accessible locally until you get more space.
Here's access to up to 3 TB (3,000 GB) of space.
I don't want to upgrade my account. I want to identify and retrieve files in my dropbox in order to make more room. So I went to dropbox.com, and all I see is:
Looks like you’re out of space
Upgrade now to keep adding files and sharing content
with a list of upgrade options. I don't see any way to even see what files are in there, much less retrieve them. How do I do that?
And this forum won't even allow me to post my name. That's why it says **bleep*.

Could you send me a screenshot of the page you get stuck on?- Geneal3 years agoExplorer | Level 3
This is very strange. I've tried several times to examine the contents of my dropbox, and always got stuck. This morning it opened right up. I've downloaded all the smaller zip files. The largest download won't open for some reason, but I know what it is and can request it from the owner again if my second try doesn't work. Once I either have it (a half-hour download) or have decided to abandon the effort, I'll delete it from my dropbox, and then I should be unblocked. I don't understand what the problem was, but since I can't reproduce it and the problem is apparently solved, I'm all set.
