Hello Jay,
I've unplugged my Drobbox account, because at first time I've used the Dropbox app keeping files on PC, but the app remained on loading for about one hour without any result

Every time Windows (11) starts, Dropbox starts automatically and what you see in the screenshot above happens.
Can be a solution expanding Dropbox space with 30 days free proof (3 TB available)?

Hey Mord0r85, sorry to jump in, but can you spot any files or folders taking up space in your account's homepage or your backups page at all?

Hi Walter
there are several name of files coming from an automatic backup by Dropbox then removed, but when i click on one of these to open it, Dropbox says that is impossible to open the file, try again later.
In the screenshot you can see these several files impossible to open because are deleted.
There is no more backup. - Megan3 years ago
