Hello again,
how can I determine if I have (accidentally) activated the backup!

I can confirm what Katarzyna, my friend, wrote.
Is it a bug in the
a Web interface of Dropbox,
b interface of the Dropbox app for Windows and
c interface of the Dropbox app for Android
that it is not transparently displayed what amount of storage is used for which folder/ for which function?
We would be very happy if you help us to fix the problem. Thanks.- KatarzynaMaria4 years agoHelpful | Level 6
Hello again,
I just wanted to confirm that my problem is solved, it was the backup. It took a lot of effort to find out.
I wonder, however, why the operators cannot inform the users, even when they ask, what the storage space is filled with.Why are users not informed explicitly and without being asked in the settings where the storage space is being used up? More clarity would be in the interest of the user.
Instead, expensive upgrades are immediately recommended.

GODDAMN BACKUP.
why is there no proper link to that on the /home page??????? it is impossible to find without the link you posted.
also the backup data does not count against the quota until you fill the dropbox a bit, then it suddenly appears as ghost data, i was going crazy figuring out what the hell is filling my dropbox.
