Dropbox say i use more space than i actually have on my PC in the whole Dropbox folder.

Hi,

had since few weeks an annoying message of "low free space or something".
Had more than 1GB left (says the Dropbox itself), turned off (fastest Solution)this really bad designed PopUp. (Interrupt Meetings or live Sessions! 😡)

Today was the day for solve the Problem, not only mute the PopUp. And it says at Dropbox i using ~12,2GB from 14GB not a Problem in my eyes... but OK, Dropbox want to reduce my used space.

Checked my Folder and could not figure out what is eating the space. Any ideas?

.dropbox.cache folder is empty (contains 9 empty folders / 0Bytes)
