Need usage breakdown in bytes for shared-to files
I have a "full" dropbox condition that is probably due to files shared-to me from other users.
I need a breakdown of all the shared-to files and the amount they are using. I looked at the dropbox...

There is no such feature. You can find a list of your shared folders on your Sharing page. To see their size, you'll need to use the option to Calculate Size for each shared folder.

Thank you Rich--I see now how the "size" option works---very manual for folders. I guess if one does not use dropbox intensively and only has a few folders that would work, but for any reasonable number of folders (I have hundreds) that would be too primitive. I was looking for something more like the Unix "du" command so that I could sort the sizes and find out where all the space is being used.
Thank you for your time
Fritz
