How can I check the size of my folders in order to delete some files?
I got a notice that by dropbox was full. I only have 7 folders mostly text, but notice says I've used 4.75 Gb. This seems unlikely. How can I check the size of my folders in order to delete some files?
Just checked my Dropbox folder. I shows 489.3 MB. Why am I getting message that I've reached my limit?

- Open the File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac).
- Navigate to the folder you want to check.
- Right-click on the folder and select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac).
- Look for the folder size information displayed, which includes the total size of the folder and its contents.
- Sort files by size to identify larger files you can delete. Right-click on unnecessary files and choose "Delete" to remove them.
