How can I identify the largest files in my account?

In managing my Dropbox storage, how can I identify space hog files to consider for deletion (without examining each and every folder manually)?

Hey redamyla, thanks for posting your question!

 

You can see the size of your files and calculate the size of your folders in Dropbox, by following the steps in this article.

 

There's no option to do this in bulk, I'm afraid, but you can check each folder individually.

 

I hope this helps, but if you have any questions, let us know.
