You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Archiving files in Dropbox
Do archived folders take up less space than active ones on their dropbox account?
- Agreed with Mark. Pretty sure if it's in your account and not deleted, it will count against your storage quota.

What do you mean by archived folders? Dropbox doesn't have an archive function for your files. Anything that exists in your account will count towards your storage quota. Deleted files and folders do not take up space in your account.
First of all, thank you so much for responding me with all my questions. I really appreciate it.
Sorry I wasn't specifc about my question.
I am learning the functions for Dropbox Business.
Admins (only) can create a team folder, and also they can archive those folders. Archived folders willl be stored, but admins have an option to delete it if they want to. So I meant this archive ones.
Anyway, thank you again for your help. You will see me asking more silly questions. :-)
- MarkMy gut instinct is that it WILL use quota up as the only thing that doesnt is deleted files. Technically these files are not deleted so I imagine they'll use up quota.
I'm going to add to the question list though ;o) by asking how long do they stay archived? If undeleted I imagine indefinitely. It may be worth checking with Sales: www.dropbox.com/business
