free up space

Hi all. It's annoying see so much space wasted by the app. I don't have any hidden files in cache. Any suggestion on how free the space? Thank you very much

    Hey davide_massi, I'd suggest you follow the steps in this article, to see the size of files and calculate the size of folders in your Dropbox, to see which ones are taking up your space.

quite sure never made a backup as you may can see in the attached screenshot. And no, last time I canceled big stuff was months ago.
