    gagsbh80 Thanks for following up. I did reply to your ticket later that day, but it sounds like that response didn't make it to you unfortunately. (Perhaps it went to your spam folder?)

      We've added a new field to TeamSpaceAllocation named 'user_within_team_space_used_cached' that should match the value reported on the Dropbox web site.

      This is currently available in the API, and should be available in the next release of each of the official SDKs.
