Thank you, Megan, for providing the link. Yes, this resolved the issue. Now, my dropbox is using less than 190 MB.

Thank you again, Megan!

1 year agoHi Akiko Sasaki-Summers, glad we managed to tackled that one!
As for the 190MB you mentioned, is this too little? What do you mean when you say if there was anything you missed while setting up your account?

Hi Akiko Sasaki-Summers, you must accidentally turned said feature on.
But, I'm glad we managed to resolve everything, and I'm going to be one post away if you need anything else.
Enjoy the rest of your week ahead! 😎
