    Sorry to hear about the confusion caused! 
     
    As an initial point of reference, you may have a look at your Account tab online to see whether it’s your personal or shared files that are putting you above your storage capacity. 
     
    If you need just a little additional quota (as our basic accounts come with 2 GB of space), you can always follow these simple steps. 
     
    Keep us updated here in case you have additional questions, so as to help you out as much as we can. Thanks & wishing you a great weekend ahead!

Same thing... very frustrating.  I figure dropbox is forcing me to buy a professional license to get more space.  Not with this kind of service.

    This has been going on for a year now. I have no files in my dropbox but, I constantly receive messages to upgrade because it is full.
