Which log files can I delete? Can Dropbox delete them?

Is there a way to determine which log files to delete? Also, can I tell dropbox to delete these old log files?

    Thanks for the info. To answer your original question, there isn't a way to determine which log files are safe to delete, nor is it possible to tell Dropbox to delete old log files automatically.

    You would need a script or possibly a setting in the accounting program to automatically delete unneeded log files.
