What they're getting at is that in order for you to be able to put files into the Dropbox folder on your computer and have them upload to your account online, you need to have the Dropbox application installed. Previously you stated that you don't have it installed. Without it, Dropbox can't take the files in your…

Addiebell wrote:If I were to go back to basics it says that my files might be deleted, but they aren't folders I own. If, after downgrading to a Basic account, you're over your storage quota for an extended period, Dropbox can delete files from your account to bring you back below your quota. Only files you own would be…

Inkstasy wrote:They share a set of folders but it doesn't see their storage amount it only sees my 2GB limit and I can't upload even though the client has plenty of room. You're not uploading directly to your client's folder, so you won't see their storage. When you join a shared folder, you get a COPY of the share in your…
