Please help me limit dropbox cache folder size on linux headless server. It fills all available disk space in a couple of days and stops syncing, I have a 250 GB SSD and a Dropbox folder of size 40 GB (Business account). I know I can rm -R Dropbox/.dropbox.cache/old-files/* in a cron job, but I'm looking for a more elegant solution.

+1, I also want this feature. My dropbox cache is often over 1TB, and after deleting it goes back up to 1TB quickly. How can this be acceptable behavior?
Hey @tstandley, I'd be happy to help with that!
Can you clarify for me if the cache folder clears itself out after a few days? Also, out of curiosity, how quickly is the folder filling up for you?
Feel free to also let me know the version of the desktop app that you have installed to your device.
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there.
