My friend shared a folder with me that has <1GB, but when I try to open it in my account, it says that the folder is too ****** (8GB) for my plan, and offers me upgrade plans. Do folders size actually multiply when shared?
Hi Walter!
He did that and still got the same issue for a while. Then, after a couple of days, it just fit to the right size... I guess it just took longer to sync...
Thank you all for your thoughts and your time!
Hi @Fernando F
No they dont. However, if its saying it is 8gb in size then thats what it is I'm afraid.
Do you need read only access? If so could you ask for a shared link instead?
Hi Mark. Thanks for your response.
No, I need editing permission. And my friend just double checked, and his folder really is under 1GB!
Hey @Fernando F, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Could you have your friend copy the content of the folder into a new folder and then try to share that one?
If you still get the same error when trying to add it to your account, please send us a screenshot of the exact message you get and clarify how much quota you've got left in your plan tab.
Thanks!
No worries, Fernando - I'm just glad to hear it's sorted now.
Thanks for keeping me in the loop too.
See you around the Community and have a lovely weekend ahead!
