Computer Backup
10 TopicsMy Dropbox is full of backup files that I can't remove.
My dropbox claims to be full, but I have no essentially no files on it. When I try to see what's taking up the space, it claims that "Backup" is taking up 2.7gb out of my 2gb of space. But I have no backups, and I have no linked devices. How can I remove these "backups"? What are they backups of? Is there some way I can just "factory reset" my account to just as if I had started a new account, maybe?Solved116Views1like4CommentsMy account shows there are 33GB of backups, but my Backups page is empty.
Hello, My account shows that it's out of storage, I have only 180MB in regular files and a 33GB backup, but I don't see it anywhere else than in the subscription page. Nothing on the backups page. I can't delete this file to free up the space. Where can I find access to it?Solved497Views0likes6CommentsTrouble with storing my macOS Dropbox app on an external drive
Perhaps someone can walk me through how to take care of these questions: 1. I liked having Dropbox mirror on my desktop, but that became untenable when Dropbox would no longer let me put the desktop contents on an external drive. These days, my Mac internal drive is 500 GB, and there isn’t any room for my photos (1.4TB). Not sure how to make this work using selective sync to move the Dropbox folder to an external drive. How do I make it so the default is an external drive on my Mac? 2. Backup management also needs clearer text to explain its actions. Given I can’t use the desktop sync without an exterior drive, how do I back up an exterior drive using the WEB-based Dropbox?2KViews1like7CommentsCant get rid of external drive. What can I do?
My drop box is empty and I was getting constant request to upgrade / no space. I think I worked out that this was caused by an external drive that I certainly never asked DB to back up, but, whatever. So I find this drive but I simply cant get rid of it. As I try to simple delete it, it sends me to backup settings, it sends me to the DB installation page for whatever reason. so I click " I don't have access" and it tells me to sign out of the device. Of course, there is no such device under my listed devices, so I figured I should unlink my primary desktop and sign back in. -Now I cant sign back in; it does not recognize the security codes sent to my email 😤 1. I never opted or asked for any drive back up service; don't want it. I just need the desktop folder 2. How do I simply delete this external drive? Its 8GB, I cant get rid of it. 3. I can get rid of dropbox though: Stop screwing up the APP with **bleep** no one asked for. kust give me a list of features to opt in or out, dont just push them in.1.9KViews0likes4CommentsDELETE ONLINE BACKUP

I tried Dropbox Backups with a free trial - now it's already disabled but my storage on Dropbox isn't clearing - before it wouldn't let me delete the files - and now I no longer see the backup - only that I exceed my qouta (because of the backup files - for which I don't have access) How can I delete all backup files?
