Dropbox account "full"
I only have 4 MB of files on dropbox, but it says my account is full. Does anyone know why that would be?
If you see it you have told Dropbox to back it up 🙂
Its a drive you must have connected at some point, so, if you don't need them you can remove backups by following: https://help.dropbox.com/organize/delete-dropbox-backup

When I click on Backups, it says there is an external hard drive, but I am not clear what is backing up what or why. I can't see the external hard drive in my dropbox account, and I never asked dropbox to back it up, or vice versa.
