1451104 2018-07-02 00:02:00 I have received a notice saying that my Dropbox is almost full. I will need to upload some files shortly and so I will need to delete some files. But how do I do so? When I try to delete some files I receive a note that says "You need permission to perform this action." "You need permission from (our names) to make changes to this folder."

Where do I get permission from? I have no idea.

You help is appreciated.

1451105 2018-07-02 03:20:00 You can login via a browser and manage your files and account from there www.dropbox.com I just deleted a test file and it worked ok for me.

It should also work on your local machine but I don't have drop box installed here to try it, sounds like you are not logged in properly and only have read access.

Thanks for you help. Much appreciated. I had some fairly large files that I needed to upload for someone else to download and it worked a treat. Thanks for that.
