74 TopicsMy storage usage is over the Basic limit and I can't access my files to delete them.
Help, I didn't want to sync all my files to dropbox and now I'm over my limit and can't access any files so I can go below this limit. Syncing has been stopped but what happens to my files on my computer if I cancel my dropbox account - will they get deleted ? I've since changed computers and transferred files / folders to the new desktop. Does dropbox have a link to my computer?132Views0likes7CommentsI received an email about my space being full and my files deleted - how come?
Hello, i got this email stating i'm over space limit and i must upgrade before a specific date or files MAY be deleted. I guess it's a way to push up to pay for more.. Or not? I searched online but wasn't able to find any annoucement/article mentionning this change of policy (until this day, AFAIK, files are being kept as long as you log-in from time to time/not leaving the account as dead. If there's a page mentionning this new thing (if it's real), please link? Thanks!78Views0likes8CommentsMake it easy and fast to locate and delete the largest files in your account.
I have 10 years of content on my dropbox. When it's full or when I want to clear some space, it takes me 4 hours+ to select all folders, calculate the space and then delete them. Why is this so unpractical? I want to easily spot all the big files and delete them All other apps have this functionality, yet Dropbox doesnt. Fix this please.129Views0likes5CommentsDeleted absolutely everything but apparently I'm still out of storage space.
Some time ago I ran out of space on my free dropbox account - I don't use it much - so I deleted stuff, but the message came up the same every day. I thought it might need some time to be brought up to date but I have now deleted everything & I'm still getting the message that I am using 2.8gb! When I log in there are no files, no deleted files, no pictures, no shared files nothing! But it still says it's full. Surely it shouldn't be this hard to empty your dropbox or are they just trying to get me to upgrade? Is my only option to delete the whole account and start again?

Dropbox Plan Basic Device iMac Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Ventura 13.7.8 Question or Issue An email from DropBox invited me to save my computer's files to DropBox. When I attempted to do so, I ran out of space and I've since changed my mind. I would like to delete EVERYTHING in my DropBox account but when I follow the help directions, (hover over the files, click the three dots, etc.) I don't get an option to delete. I've tried in both "list" and "grid" format. See print screen. Please provide simple instructions for deleting everything. I do NOT want to upgrade.Solved167Views1like6CommentsMy account's quota says it's full, but my account is empty.
Dropbox Plan Basic Device Dell Inspiron i7 3000 Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Windows 11 My basic plan says it's full. Only it's not. There's nothing there. Nothing in the folders. It says it's doing backup from an SSD drive only it's not. I stopped it. Nothing is backed up. At least, I cannot find whatever it says it's backed up. And now I'm getting this constant synching is stopped because you're full. Only, like I said, there's nothing in my dropbox. Nada. Zip. All of the folders in dropbox are empty, including temp folders, cache etc... Short of deleting dropbox completely, which I am sorely tempted to do at this point, what's going on and what can I do?Solved93Views0likes3CommentsWhy am I out of storage space? I've deleted everything and Dropbox shows space is being used.
Dropbox Plan Basic, unpaid plan Device All Operating System/Browser (if using the web) All Question or Issue I have downgraded to the free dropbox plan and deleted every file, removed every shared folder, and emptied out every deleted file in my deleted files section, but my dropbox is still showing that I'm using up all of my space. How is this happening? I can't find a single file anywhere that would be taking up space in my account, yet: What am I missing? Is there a secret file area that has 7+ GB of files? Dropbox app was also constantly popping up on my computer warning me I was out of space, but when i'd click the "clean up files" button it would take me to my empty dropbox folder with nothing left to clean up.Solved385Views0likes3CommentsMy account is over-quota but there are no files to delete to free up space
