How can I be using 8.69 GB out of 2 GB? Where can I check my actual storage?
Hi! I am Basic (2 Gb) customer. How can it be: "Using 8.69 GB of 2 GB space"?
I looked through my Dropbox current content and nowhere didn't find the option to show the real memory storage occupied by each my material.
I would like to delete some my items to remain within the legal memory limit of Free Plan. How can I do it?

Your actual usage can be found on your Plan page.

Thank you, Rich, for your prompt reply.
I do not understand how I can use 8.69 GB of 2 GB space. My Baqckups page is empty. I would like to see space occupation table with exact memory occupied by each item. Is it possible here? Why this first rate information is buried so deep somewhere? How can I plan using DropBox facility with closed eyes?- MeganDropbox Staff

Hello Rich,
the solution is simple:
When Dropbox was still small and unknown, you received 500Mb of storage space for each new user you brought to Dropbox via an invitation link.
Like Vitaly, I also had around 6GB of storage space, which has suddenly disappeared. Dropbox is now asking me to pay for the storage space that I have earned by inviting new users. Dropbox is also threatening to delete my data irrevocably.
That's a disgrace.
