Need usage breakdown in bytes for shared-to files

[sonnichs]

I have a "full" dropbox condition that is probably due to files shared-to me from other users.

I need a breakdown of all the shared-to files and the amount they are using.  I looked at the dropbox doc and this forum and cannot find this. Clicking the "avatar" only gives overall totals which is not useful here.

How do I list files, their share-to or share-from status, and the amount used?

Thanks

There is no such feature. You can find a list of your shared folders on your Sharing page. To see their size, you'll need to use the option to Calculate Size for each shared folder.

Thanks Rich-

  when I click on the "sharing page" is this showing files that I have shared-out to others, or files the others have "shared-in" to me?

Both. Clicking on one will take you to that folder in your Dropbox, where you can calculate its size.

Thank you Rich--I see now how the "size" option works---very manual for folders. I guess if one does not use dropbox intensively and only has a few folders that would work, but for any reasonable number of folders (I have hundreds) that would be too primitive. I was looking for something more like the Unix "du" command so that I could sort the sizes and find out where all the space is being used.

Thank you for your time
