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.

    Hey HelpdeskDemo, just adding to this discussion that you could also call in or chat in to our team (depending on your subscription) through the help section of the admin console here: https://www.dropbox.com/team/admin/help (provided that you're the admin).

     

    Please get in touch with our colleagues during our Business hours listed there and we'll do our best sending over some quick tips & tricks on how to set up your folder structure. 

     

    Also, since you've mentioned that you're new to Dropbox Business, I'd advise having a look at AgentJay's thread here, so as to set up your folder structure from scratch. 

     

    Hope this is helpful & let me know if you have further questions, I'll be glad to follow-up!
