We are using the free version of Box which includes 100BG of storage.  We reached the limit a while ago and have been getting rid of old files over the last 2 months or so.  I'm still getting a message that we are out of storage but the admin console window show us only using about 35GB of storage.  I just got the message again when trying to upload a file.  We are just a small non-profit using the free version and can't afford to pay at this point.  Please help!  Thank you!

Hi Jennifer,

Welcome to the Box Community!

I have run a script that will recount all of the files and how much storage is being used in your account. Sometimes Box caches previous file counts and storage amounts causing a data inconsistency. This is a known issue and is a long term project for our engineering team to tackle.

Let me know if you have questions!

Best regards,
Ann
