Remaining space usage on local disk while cloud only is activated.

[Davidus]

Hi everybody,

My question is about the space used by my dropbox folder on my local disk. 

The Finder (iOS 14) show that the dropbox folder size is 65 Go.

I don't understand why, because i have checked the online only option for all the folders. All are properly marked  with a small grey cloud (and a small arrow).

I need that this dropobox folder use 0.
Do you have an explanation and a solution to fix that ?

Many thanks
David

Hi @Davidus, thanks for posting here! 

If you've made sure that the desktop app is 'up to date' in your menu bar and not still syncing your changes, could you try deleting the Dropbox cache folder from your computer?

Also, feel free to right click on your Dropbox folder, then click "Get info" and send us a screenshot of what it reports there. 

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
