You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

ACTUAL SPACE BEING USED TO COMPARE ONLINE VS OFFLINE
I wish to view my actual use of storage online vs. offline. If I choose to make available offline, then they should be equal. All past searches as well as Google searches reference old screenshots ...
AS PER ONLINE REPORT VIA APP=Personal Dropbox space
Using 395.5 GB of 2.03 TB, Regular files (391.7 GB), Backup (0 bytes), Replay (0 bytes),Shared files (3.7 GB), Unused space (1.6 TB)
AS PER ON MAC DROPBOX FOLDER
424,776,499,673 bytes (425.25 GB on disk) for 158,304 items
Where are the missing files, why are they not syncing to cloud, why is there no ###,### ITEMS as shown on the desktop OS and not showing on the cloud referenced app?
Just to be clear here, mass confusion, why? SO many posts on these forums with SO many issues, what is it about Dropbox that makes life SO difficult?
AND, following up regarding why I cannot see managing of right context menu to make ALL OFFLINE available?

Hi Guruuno,
You might want to check in your Dropbox account via the web browser by or by clicking this link while logged in on your account : www.dropbox.com/account/general and go to Preferences , then scroll down to the bottom you will see , as shown in screenshot " Online-only files on Mac". This will help you find out which files are taking up your hard drive space because if you turn the enable button ON , the system will display the file sizes in Mac folder as zero bytes so you can easily know which files are all saved in your Hard Drive . Those listed as zero bytes are automatically regarded as online-only files. Hope this helps,
