No changes to disk space, after setting all the files as Online Only.

[TampaLifeChurch]

I have Made all files "ONLINE ONLY" and my disk space is not releasing the space back to my drive

I have a 9 TB Drive

 

supposedly Drop Box is eating up 7 TB of that.... but even after all the files are synced it's still retaining size on disk?  

 

When I have the PC add up all the other Files in the T drive not including Dropbox it gives me 4.47TB.

Hello there @TampaLifeChurch, thank you for posting!

Can you send me a screenshot of your syncing status?

You can find it by clicking the Dropbox icon near your clock.

Thank you!

Hey @TampaLifeChurch, I appreciate the screenshot! 

It seems the app is still syncing content, and isn't fully updated, which could be one of the reasons. I can see it's currently syncing approximately 371 GB. 

If I were you, I'd wait for everything to be up to date, then reboot my device and check the computer's hard drive anew. Do you think you can try that?
