Storage Space

[Walter]

Hey @Marti4621, sorry to jump in here, but I just wanted to mention that you can always check the app's status and see if it's normally syncing in your computer's system tray/menu bar.

If you see it's still stuck after deleting those files to make up space, please reboot your computer and/or relaunch the app.

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks Walter,

I have iCloud backup. Apple notified me that DropBox is not necessary and/or it doesn't work when iCloud is in play. If my computer was wiped by an external source, would Dropbox protect my files? Would iCloud? Would neither. I expect this may happen in the near future.

Hey @Marti4621!

Dropbox can protect your files in the sense that they are stored in our servers, so in case of a deletion, we can restore your files up to 30 days to a year after they get deleted, depending on your plan.
