Dropbox size on Desktop is smaller than Dropbox size online
With Dropbox Basic, I recieved an alert saying my dropbox is full -all 8.25 GB are used. But when I check my Dropbox file on my desktop it's size is 1.89 GB. All folders are marked to sync so I can...
- There is no way of looking at folder size online. Hence me saying before why not look at www.dropbox.com/events to see whats been added.
What about www.dropbox.com/bad_files_check or the use of symlinks/junctions

As soon as you go over quota syncing stops - so the larger new files wont have sync'd to your machine hence the discrepancy

Thanks for your reply.
what you described could make sense. though in my situation, it is not the case. all folders & files are synced. it just wont continue syncing from now on. and the difference in size wouldn't accommodate a single file... at least not the files I have on Dropbox..
