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.

Also have the same error. Dropbox says I am using 2,5GB, when I can find just 499MB, as can be seen in the screen shot below. I already checked my backups, and there is none there.

    Hey dino_batista, sorry to hear about this.

     

    Can you please clarify what's shown in your plan tab in regards to your quota?

     

    Do you see any files or folders taking up space on your backups page online perhaps?

     

    As for the content of your Dropbox folder, have you ensured that you don't have any selectively un-synced folders? 

     

    Keep us posted!

      Hello Walter, thank you for your response. Please find below my plan tab:

       

       

      Note it is much larger than when I check all the files I have stored.

       

      And there is nothing in my backups page as well:

       

       

      All my files in the Dropbox folder are selected to be synced (the green circle with a white thick in the middle, right?)

       

      It seems a bug in the sytem...
