Drop box taking up space
I have a 2T plan on my Mac the dropbox folder is taking up 1.02 T. on line when I look at my account it says: Regular files (208.31 GB) Shared files (1.08 GB) Unused space (1.8 TB) ...
- 3 years agoThank you for the reply what am I reading wrong it says shared files 1.08 gig and 1.8 gig free?

You have almost certainly accidentally set up a new account rather than logged in to your old one.
Have a look at www.dropbox.com/events - does that show activity from before you bought the new computer and installed Dropbox?

It does show the normal activity prior to the new computer.

Hey Eamonn McDonagh, sorry to jump in, but could you let us know what exactly is reported in your account's plan tab in regards to your quota?

All my own fault and all fixed now. because DB normally works so well I hadn't logged into my dropbox page for like *years* was thus a bit confused by what I was seeing. Thanks all and sorry to have wasted ppls time.

No worries Eamonn McDonagh - we're just glad to hear it's sorted now.
