Dropbox takes up 90GB space on my iPhone.
I have 200gb of stuff in my drop box, on my iphone drop box takes up 90Gb of space, I can’t download the photos on it because I dont have enough space, I though there was a way to store it all seperately from storage or anything like that??

While Dropbox will remove items from cache after a time, you can clear it manually from Settings within the app. If that doesn't clear all the storage used by Dropbox, uninstall and reinstall the app. Just know that any files you've marked as available offline will need to be remarked as such.

Try clearing the cache from Dropbox by going in to 'Personal and Settings (the cog button at the top)'
