Random files being backed up?
Hey I have been looking through my backup and seems to find that dropbox backup finds random files, which only share the characteristics of having random names attached to them. Should I erase them ...
Hey
Yeah, it's like "variables.css" and "widgets".
In regards to the backups, I seem to find some of my files from my desktop, however, some of my other files seem not to be visible under the folders, in which they are supposed to be. I think it has something to do with all my space in dropbox being used up, however, I do not know how to change the setting to prioritize the files which I am missing from the backup.
Thank you in advance.

Dropbox StaffHey Anderssssf, hope you don’t mind me jumping in.
Just to clarify, the files that you mention ("variables.css" and "widgets") were not showing within your computer folder prior to backing them up with Dropbox?
Also, if your Dropbox account has gone over-quota, then that would explain why not all files have been backed up. If you hover over the small Dropbox icon in your system tray, what’s its current syncing status?
Hey
The current syncing status is in updating and has been continuously updating for a while over all my files, including those which I did not intend on being saved by dropbox- Nancy
Can you let me know what’s the approximate size of the computer files you wish to back up?
Also, if you go here, how much is the total quota of your Dropbox account? In any case, you’ll need to have enough space on your account, in order to back up your computer files.
Hey
Sorry for the late response.
Its about the 3.16 GB, however, i was wondering how I could selectively choose what to back up here in dropbox. More specificially under what settings can I adjust for that? Then I should be able to safe the most essential files.
