Dropbox Files Take Up Hard Drive Space
My laptop keeps showing me that my Dropbox files are taking up space on my hard drive. I am certain they are syncing and on the cloud. How do I resolve this? Thanks.
Thanks for taking the time to post here, Roni5050.
Just wanted to let you know that the Dropbox desktop app's job is to sync local versions of your files to your computer.
This allows you to access your Dropbox files and work on them, even if you're not connected to the internet and it's our preferred method of uploading/downloading larger files.
You can of course still use the website and if you'd like, you can also use our selective sync feature, which will help you remove entire folders from your Dropbox folder, but keep them on dropbox.com, to free up some of your space.
I hope this helps!
Hi,
I have smart synced all of the Dropbox files to Online Only, but still my Dropbox is taking up 250 GB on my hard drive. This is actual disc space, not estimated one. I'm a Mac user, using Dropbox pro. Any recommendations?
Edit: Never mind, the cache file is the problem in my case. Thanks!
