Storage Space

Hi Guys,
My local Windows Dropbox is fully synced with my online Dropbox. Windows Explorer file/properties shows my Dropbox folder is 576 MB but to my surprise, dropbox.com and dropbox app both say my dropbox is full. I have checked the plan tab and found my regular file size is 3.4 GB which is not correct. My shared folder only takes less than 100 MB. What is going on here? Why the discrepancy? Any inputs?
Thanks,
Tao
Hi,
I've had a basic plan for a long time with a current limit of 7.75GB and usage up to recently of 6.51GB. In the two weeks the usage increased to 16.49GB for some unknown reason and the message I now get is to delete files or upgrade to 2TB.
I have not added any significant files/folders to my account in a long time, even then most have not exceeded 1MB, the bulk around 100KB.. Also, I constantly monitor my usage and whenever I see that I'm within 1GB of my 7.75GB limit I delete/transfer files/folders from Dropbox.
Any suggestions, advice, comments?
Thank you.

Nope, no solution yet
Hi there @RayLG, thanks for posting on our Community and happy 2023!
Can you please let us know what exactly is reported in your account's plan tab at the moment?
Also, do you happen to see any files taking up space on this page?
Let us know what you find and we'll take it from there.

it's probably a strategy to force us to buy a higher package
