Wrong total size

Hello, used size of my dropbox is not calculated correctly. I'm have 1.6GB of files in dropbox. But your system says that i'm using over 14 GB out of 8.75 GB. So now it stopped syncing.

 

What can I do?

 

Thank you 

  • Hi Kosobrin, I’m sorry to hear that. 

     

    Do you happen to have backup enabled on your Dropbox account? You can double check this on this page

     

    Let me know what you find.
