Dropbox writes me "out of space" but it's not true!!

Dropbox writes me "out of space" but it's not true!!

Hello everyone!

Suddenly Dropbox wrote to me that my space is full, I checked the folder on my desktop and it only contains 1.88 gigs, not 2! Checking on Dropbox online, I saw that it indicates that I occupy 6 GB out of 2, but I have only inserted files for 1.88 gigabytes! Where are these other files? On the status it tells me that 4 gig files (that were on the desktop) have been uploaded , but they are not inside the Dropbox folder. I also checked on shared files and there is nothing! I can't upload anything anymore!

Can anyone help me? Thank you!

Hey @Nick76, thanks for taking the time to write to our Community.

 

Could you take a look at your backups page, to see if there are any backups taking up your space?

 

Let me know what you find.

Yes, it is absolutely that! I noticed it last night, after writing the post in this forum. Automatic backup was turned on, I didn't notice that. Now everything is fine!

Thanks a lot for the answer!!! 🙂

I have the eact same problem but my available space occupied even less. I have tried repeatedly nto notify Dropbox but bthe bot cannot even comprehend my problem. I only add photos, it is a private account and I do not share anything. I have screennshots to show but I imagine it would not help since there are others with the same problem and nobody seems to be getting any response

I actually do not need anu mpre spacw and I do not need an u[grade
