Dropbox currently shows 305% usage, when I check the storage it shows that everything (~80GB) is stored in Backup. When I open Backup application, however, it shows Size: 0 bytes, Number of files: 0....

    Thanks for that! This is quite interesting indeed. 

    Can you also click on the “Manage backups” option from the Backups page and send me one more screenshot of what you see then?

    I’d like to investigate this further.
