Hi Floche, could you try checking the backups page to see if there is any ongoing backup for a computer or external drive?
- Floche3 years agoExplorer | Level 4Hi,
There was an hard-drive in the back up menu... it wasn't my intention, I deleted. Now the storage came back to a normal size.
Why is the hard-drive taking up space on Dropbox storage ?
I just wanted to copy the file from Dropbox to my hard-drive... - Hannah3 years ago

Hmm, in this case, it seems that you enabled our backup feature for that drive.
Perhaps you agreed to it by accident, the last time you plugged the drive in to your computer.
But now that you deleted the backup, it will no longer take up space in your Dropbox, so you are good to go!
