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
Thanks for you response.
I do have the latest version & I practically went through all my folders to make sure & there are no syncing problems.
Non the less, there is a big difference in size between the size Dropbox says is used in my account as apossed to the size I see when I check the size. Since I don't have any way to check sizes in Dropbox online, it is impossible to identify the source of the problem.
Is it possible folders that are shared with me but that I did not add to my Dropbox, take up space on my Dropbox?
If not, I cannot think of any other reason...

Dropbox StaffHey NAK,
I can sure help!
The best way for me to investigate this case would be to have a look at your account. Could you please open a new ticket with us and let me know a ticket ID in your reply? On the support request, could you include a screenshot of the space that you have used on your account online and a second one grabbing the "info" of the Dropbox folder by right-clicking on it (or going to "Properties" if you are on a Windows device)?
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Kind regards,
JaneA
