Dropbox size on Desktop is smaller than Dropbox size online
With Dropbox Basic, I recieved an alert saying my dropbox is full -all 8.25 GB are used. But when I check my Dropbox file on my desktop it's size is 1.89 GB. All folders are marked to sync so I can...
- There is no way of looking at folder size online. Hence me saying before why not look at www.dropbox.com/events to see whats been added.
What about www.dropbox.com/bad_files_check or the use of symlinks/junctions

As soon as you go over quota syncing stops - so the larger new files wont have sync'd to your machine hence the discrepancy

- Thanks for your reply.
what you described could make sense. though in my situation, it is not the case. all folders & files are synced. it just wont continue syncing from now on. and the difference in size wouldn't accommodate a single file... at least not the files I have on Dropbox..- MarkWhat does Dropbox say if you mouse over its icon on the status bar?
If it says over quota SOMETHING has happened on one device or another to stop it from downloading those updates to the machine you are on now.
www.dropbox.com/events may show whats been added
www.dropbox.com/share is still where I suspect the issue is.- My problem is that while Dropbox claims to be full, I don't see any reason for it to be full.
The total size of my files on Dropbox is more than 6GB under my full capacity.
