Can you please help!

I have used dropbox years and now got message to buy more space. I deleted files and my local folder and dropbox site shows just a fraction of what there should be.

Hey @ttomppa, thanks for posting today.

 

Is it possible that you enabled our backup feature at some point? Do you see any info here?

Hi @ttomppa 

 

What does www.dropbox.com/account/plan show? 

 

Have you got anything still showing at www.dropbox.com/home ?

That was it! I don't know how did that happen, but that was taking all that space.

Happy to see we figured it out, @ttomppa! Let us know if you need anything else.

 

As for you, @SA32, did you check your backups page, to see if you have any info there? Is that empty?

תודה על המענה המהיר.

!בוודאי שבדקתי ואין כרגע שום גיבוי

ולכן אני לא מבין מדוע נגמר לי המקום?

אשמח לעזרה

לא בעיה, האם נוכל ליצור איתך קשר בדוא"ל, כדי שנוכל לחקור את זה באופן פנימי?

Not a problem, can we reach out to you via email, so we can investigate on this internally?

תודה האנה!

אשמח מאוד שתיצרו איתי קשר ישיר במייל.

אני פניתי לכמה אנשי מקצוע ולא הצליחו לפתור את הבעיה.

אני בטוח שאתם תצליחו.

תודה רבה!
