Hi Hannah! Thank you for your help! It has been solved by the dropbox chat. 'The team space usage associated with a team member's account, is automatically updated from the system every 6-8 hours. You will also be able to notice these updates taking place next to each member's name every 6-8 hours, in the Members tab of the Admin Console, where the storage space for each member account is calculated individually to see this information from your end as the Admin.'

Hey domienvandamme1, sorry to jump in here.
Is the application stuck on trying to sync these 3 files?
If so, are you able to locate them in your Dropbox folder, move them out of the folder, to see if that allows syncing to get "up to date"?
Then try to restart the computer and check the usage on the application again and let us know if there's any change.
