Thank you for that suggestion. As the admin of the Team I expect to have complete visibility of the space I am paying a decent sum of money for.

Thanks Rich,
When disabling Backup in settings I was shown a prompt saying existing Backups wont be disabled or removed. Is it possible to get a list of users that have made use of this feature so that we can assist them in removing it (if this is the case)?

Hi BillyG, I hope you're doing well!
In the Help Center article that Rich provided above, you can follow the steps mentioned there, in order for you to manage Backups, and check who has the feature enabled or disabled on their end.
You'd need to go through that info, and gather the names of the members that currently use the feature.
I hope this clarifies.

With this done, I am still faced with the same issue... dropbox admin shows 6.9TB total, but summing up all users and content sizes only add up to 3TB as per my calculations.
