Why is Dropbox Backup using up 3.5 GB? How can I check what's taking up storage?
Hi,
I'm one of the users who suddenly lost god knows how much storage space and Dropbox stopped syncing, even though I keep almost nothing in those folders.
I've tried deleting all the shared folders from years ago and whatever else I assumed was taking up space (images, mostly) and I'm still very low on personal files but all topped up in "Backup."
Everyone else's posts in the community had their own Backup levels at 0.
What exactly is taking up 3.5 GB of space in mine?
Thank you!
Dropbox backup is.... as it says ;)
You cannot view that via the usual web interface so go to www.dropbox.com/backups to see it and if you dont need it considering disabling it via https://help.dropbox.com/organize/how-to-use-dropbox-backup

OMG Mark, can I love your reply rather than like it?
I had completely forgotten that Backup was an automated feature I had set up years ago and it was backing up an entire array of folders in my laptop, not just the single folder that lives in Dropbox 😅
Thanks again!
