Space usage is incorrect

Привет всем!   Нужна помощь. В моем дропбоксе уже давно занято по факту 50 мб. Но в аккаунте написано, что занято 3.15 ГБ. Как восстановить справедливость?) --------------------- Hi all!   Help...

    Привет, AleksandrMoskalev, спасибо, что присоединился к нашему сообществу!

     

    Возможно, вы когда-нибудь включали нашу функцию резервного копирования?

     

    Видите ли вы какие-либо резервные копии, занимающие ваше место здесь?

     

    Дайте мне знать, что вы найдете.

    Hey AleksandrMoskalev, thanks for joining our Community!

     

    Did you perhaps enable our backup feature at any point?

     

    Do you see any backups taking up your space here?

     

    Let me know what you find.

Hi Community

 

Lately my Dropbox app tells me i should have a look on my Files as i'm running out of space... Which irritates me a bit since I switched off all autosync folders and functions. Basically i only use Dropbox as a second Cloud for my old files which i was too lazy to transfer to my NAS.

On my local Disk all the Dropbox Files take 370MB of Space. While Dropbox calculates my used Disk Space as 6.6GB.

Anybody have an Idea what it could be or how to solve it?

Check your Backups page.

    Thanks! It seems that something was backed up there... after deletion it's all back to normal
