Local hard drive size does not change after moving 160Gb folders online only
Macbook Pro 16" M4 Max 64Gb/4Tb, Mac OS Sequoia 15.1 I have made 160Gb total size folders online only to free up disk space, Dropbox sync shows "your files are up to date", folder sizes have instant...
Hello Nancy,
My drive is 4Tb, the Dropbox is taking 1.2Tb and the free disk space is 1.9Tb.
I'm just interested to know the use of these files, weither they take space or not, that's not the question.
And btw I have sorted the syncing problem by recreating a new Dropbox on my drive, stopping sync, moving the files from the old Dropbox folder there and resuming sync.
I find your gui incomplete, you should give the possibility to your customers upgrading their system to point to a full Dropbox folder (the one you saved from your old system), or import it locally, and take it into account. This would save people upgrading their hardware from having to fiddle in order to avoids days (weeks for some) of resyncing over the internet to fill the new Dropbox... unless I missed something of course.
Thanks
