Delete, edit, and organize
Solve issues with deleting, editing, and organizing files and folders in your Dropbox account with support from the Dropbox Community.
I went looking for why my Mac was running out of disk space, and found over half a terabyte of video files in
/Library/Application Support/Dropbox-Capture/Temporary dating back to 2021.
Support said I could delete them...
Hey @Short Story M., I hope you're doing well!
I'd also guess that it'd be okay for you to remove them.
If you can access all of your saved files in the Capture folder, you should be more than good to proceed.
I hope this clarifies!

I think I found what happened, and perhaps a bug... files in the Dropbox Capture folder are typically 1-5 minutes or so, while those same recordings in /Library... seems to have not stopped until the next reboot -- one I just checked was 99 hours. None of the long ones are after August, so maybe a bug was fixed?
@Admin you can delete this thread - I moved it ti the Capture Feedback area
Glad everything is back on track @Short Story M.
