Why are Dropbox Group Containers on Mac so large?
Hi!
Does anyone know why dropbox is taking almost 300GB of physical space on my hard drive while storing only 180GB of data? Can I delete these Group Containers?
I am on mac M1 Ventura 13.0 and Dropbox 217.4.4417
Thanks!

Hi rmn gee, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Could you try reinstalling the Dropbox desktop application, without uninstalling it first, by using this link?
Keep me updated with any progress!
