Still stuck? Ask me a question! (Questions asked in the community will likely receive an answer within 4 hours!)
I could live if it was just taking up 40 GB... my Mac thinks the entire harddrive is full, and all the files it thinks are local I know are in dropbox online-only synced folders (over 200 GB of files)
I wrote to dropbox support and they had no resolution. They stated it was an issue I needed to take up with Apple, but it seems more of a problem on their end to me - their software is not communicating with the local harddrive storage system.
This is extremely frustrating as I can't download anything to my computer - the Mac thinks the harddrive is full (despite the fact that I KNOW the files are all synced to online only and not taking up local space!)
Hmm, not sure I am on board with the Dropbox admin askinga user to take this offline with the admins. I am another user having exactly the same issues with MacOS thinking the drive is full after a Dropbox smart sync.
Come on Dropbox I am paying royally for your service for all my employees - a ssolution please, rather than passing the buck. When I read your marketing for this service, it didn't mention this rather fundemental issue for Mac users - hardly a small cohort of people at this stage.
I feel your pain, my dropbox on my mac now says it's using 131GB but only 918.6MB on disk. (see screenshot)
However my Storage only shows 408GB of 500GB being used, which is better! So there's an improvement here.
It would seem that MAC OS is excluding the Dropbox folder size as part of Documents (even though it shows up under Storage Management).
But I'm not right at the threshhold like most of you, I have room to breath. I also think Dropbox is downloading WAY too much for having Smart Sync set from the get-go. My ISP download usage will show that clearly.
Goodluck...
Having this exact same issue right now, the answers in other threads were weird, marked solved when they clearly weren't

Hi,
I just tested taking everything online-only and then syncing some folders to local. I sent screenshots and detailed description of the problem to you over email, ticket #8217407.
Also, please don't brush this off as an Apple only issue: clearly it's to do with how the implementation works from your side with/to macOS - nothing your customers can solve on their own by contacting Apple Support. I'm positive the issue would be easier solved if your Smart Sync engineers worked with Apple to get this working instead of making it a task for your paying customers to solve it for you...
