Is it possible to search for files in order of file size?

Hello, in order to free up unused space, is there a way to search for large, forgotten files anywhere in the dropbox tree so that one can decide whether to keep them  or delete them?

Thankyou

Adolfo

    Hi Adolfo_Melilli, thanks for posting on the Community!

     

    Currently it isn't possible search for files based on their size. However, you can see file and folder sizes using the steps here.

     

    Hope this helps!
