    Do you have Dropbox Sync turned on? If you created a large file/folder locally on your device, you may have unintentionally synced it. I've done this before!

    Thanks. 

    I have not enabled backups. The events idea worked. A collaborator had added a massive number of files in a shared folder.

    Hi there Sampsa S.​ and welcome back to the Dropbox Community. That's great that you've found out what was taking up all your storage 🤗. 

    By the way, I'm Theresa - you will see me here on the Community getting involved in threads and starting conversations 👩‍💻. I'm curious - what would be your favourite Dropbox feature? 

    Looking forward to hearing from you,

    T 😺 (Dropbox Community Manager)
