    Hi Martin, 

    Welcome to Box Community!

    It looks like you're uploading files in a shared folder owned by another user that already reached the limit, reason for the "account storage limit or quota exceeded" error.

    Please note "Storage is always taken from the folder "owner" even if that user isn't the one uploading the content." It would be best to reach out to the owner and ask to delete items that they no longer need to free up space or upgrade the account to get more storage.

    Thank you for posting.
