Need to see if your shared folder is taking up space on your dropbox 👨💻? Find out how to check here.
Most recent Windows desktop update allows users to have files only on the cloud (saving local disk space). Problem is by DEFAULT, the update REMOVES all files locally WITHOUT WARNING (i.e. must have internet access to get to them)! For me, this defeats the reason I use DropBox in the first place, and I could just use the Microsoft cloud instead.
I'm really glad I discovered this "removal" before I ended up someplace with NO internet access and NO access to files I need! I had to spend an hour undoing the cloud-only folders I needed locally and wait for all my files to re-sync!
The default setting SHOULD have kept all files local and allowed me to select which ones I could tolerate being "cloud only", instead of putting a tremendous surprise burden on all users.
