    Okay looks like ive been able to resolve the issue, For some reason a shared folder that I had offline was taking up space even though it wasn't on my computer. It was nt letting me delete it but I just then was somehow able to force delete it.

     

    Thanks

Hey HamishL - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.


Could you please clarify what's reported in your plan tab in regards to your account's quota?

 

Thanks!

    A screenshot of your quota breakdown would be very helpful too HamishL 

     

    Apart from that, have you tried signing out from your account through the app's preferences and then back in?

        HamishL, we can’t see your screenshots, I’m afraid. Are you uploading them here by clicking on the following button above your message box?
