Storage Space

Agreed to the new Mac Folders and the sync tells me my hard drive is full and I have all of my folders set for Make online only. Everything shows clouds but when I check my hard drive utility it says all space is taken and normally half my drive is clear. I cleared cache but no help. This is the second time a full sync like this has happened in 2 days.
Says the sync is now up to date. No green checked icons.
I have been opening a few files and deleting files but I noticed my Activity monitor is not working. Just blank? Getting a little nervous about the new folders.
Are the files you were working on located in your Dropbox folder @Probes?
If yes, could you try rebooting your computer and/or quitting and relaunching the app?

Per recommendaation I deleted my Dropbox app, cleared trash and restarted. Then downloaded new app and finished sync. Attached is an image of my folders. When it first synced the old app it had green check marks which no longer appear. Is this how it should look? Thanks
Hi again, @Probes!
Everything seems to be okay, I see there are cloud icons next to your files; do you see that your hard drive space is freed up?
