Dropbox Backup: Desktop and Desktop(1) ?

[Judy12159]

I don't know whether I'm posting this in the right place, but in my Dropbox Backup I have Desktop and Desktop(1). Is there a reason for that? If not, can I delete Desktop(1) and, if so, how? TIA...

Regular files (11.6 GB)

Backup (34.6 GB)

Shared files (623.4 MB)

Unused space (2.1 TB)

What are "regular files"?
"Shared files"?

I know what the backup is.

Hi @Judy12159, your regular files are files that you uploaded to your account and that aren't shared with anyone. 

Shared content, is pretty self-explanatory, it's the content you share with others, (or that they shared with you) in order to collaborate with them.

Okay. Now, how do I don't want to use the Backup feature anymore. How do I disable it?

Hi @Judy12159, you can delete the Dropbox Backup by following these steps.

Just to be sure, does "unlinked" mean that the backup is not happening anymore?

[Jay]

That's right, it means that the backup won't occur again.

So with those numbers, I need a lot more than 2 Gb!
Just wanted to be sure. Thanks!

That's correct, to store all your files you had before, it would need more than 2 GB of quota. 

From what you posted, you currently have 2 TB, since you're most likely on a Plus plan, so you should have enough quota currently to store them.
