Drop box almost full but I have less than 1 gb of data
Drop box says I have 1.6 gb of data but when I add it up it’s less than 1/2 a gigabit. What’s up with that?

Checked your Backups page? When you look at your breakdown of usage on your Plan page, where does it say the space is being used? Regular files, shared, backup, etc.?

Hello. I can’t find anything called a backup page. I really only have about thirty songs in drop box all about 3-4 mg
how can i find the backup page you are talking about? If I have drop box on three devices does that triple the usage?

Hey Roy buchan, Rich has linked the Backups page in his message. You can also click here to access it.
Also, there’s one copy of your files on the Dropbox server, which is reflected on each one of your devices, so that doesn’t duplicate them.
Hope this helps!
