How can I figure out which files/folders take up space on my Dropbox account?
Hi team,
I started my account long time ago but am new to the community forum. my account shows storage full. eventhough I have only. around 600MB files in my drive. How to check which folder takes up most space? I tried clicking each folders in the homescreen under 'All files' which has only around 600MB files. here it shows regular files, how to find which files or folder location?
can you help me to find more information.
regards
Hi User_624! Welcome aboard our Community.
From your first screenshot, it looks like your personal Dropbox files are taking up most of the space indeed.
To calculate the size of your files/folders, you can follow these steps.
Finally, keep in mind that shared files/folders use space from your Dropbox account, as well.
Let me know if that helps or if I can assist further.
