How to check, manage and organize folder sizes on Dropbox?

I’ve been receiving notifications that my 2TB storage is full, and I’m having trouble managing my files efficiently. Is there a way to see which folders are taking up the most space? How do I check and organize the size of folders on Dropbox? Is there any way I can see the folder sizes overview? I would appreciate any tips on how to view this data or any tools within Dropbox that could help me identify large files and folders for better storage management.

    Hi there mahdichavoushi - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

     

    Have you tried using these steps to calculate the size of your folders on the website?

     

    If you have the desktop app installed on a computer of yours, you should also be able to use your computer's tools to do this.
