Device (HP Pavilion, One plus Nord) Operating System/Browser (if using the web) (Windows 10) Dropbox App Version (if using the app) (450.2.2) Question or Issue I am not able to see any folders or photos in dropbox, although it says that 16 GB space is occupied. same is the case with desktop and mobile app. A sleeping dog on purple cushion appears when i click on 'photos'. please help.Solved57Views0likes3CommentsMy 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?Solved111Views1like4CommentsI can't access my Dropbox files online after exceeding my storage quota.
Device I'm sure that this is unrelated to device, but it's pc. Operating System/Browser (if using the web) win11 chrome Question or Issue I'm currently invited into some team, and we don't use premium as it's redundant. But accidently someone hit the limit of the quota by putting temporary huge file, and I got this screen. The problem is, even I clicked the file management (파일관리), it keeps redirect to this stupid screen. The URI of this page is: https://www.dropbox.com/home?sort_by_size_desc=true After my teammate remove few ones from their desktop app, I finally can access to our files. Note that I didn't install pc app, as I merely use this space. By the way I'm tired of seeing storage alert every time I enter to page, even I don't need additional storage. Why should I bothered again and again? The reason why I merely use this service is, not only lack of need of cloud storage, but also this nausty user experience of dropbox (like agoda lmao)54Views0likes1CommentStorage is full but I can't access files to delete
I have been getting a notice that my dropbox 2GB is full and stopped syncing and that I should upgrade. But I first want to go in and through my files to delete old files I don't need anymore. But when I sign in to my dropbox I don't see any folders and files, it looks empty. So how can I access my dropbox? Thank you so much for your help.68Views0likes1CommentMy phone was stolen and my Dropbox files are missing but it says that my account is almost full
My Dropbox says that I'm almost at capacity on my basic plan but I cannot see any documents files or photos. My iPhone 14 plus was stolen and pictures of my ID and social security card were in there as well as some intimate photos. I'm going to assume they moved or shared the files because I don't see them anywhere in the list I see nothing at all. But I do see that it says I'm almost at capacity. How is this? How do I get my files? I chose to retrieve files within the last 30 days but it didn't show anything. I can't contact the live person. I really need stuff that's in there. What do I do?95Views0likes2CommentsHow can I remove files from my account to free up space and save them to an external drive?
Dear smart people, I want to free up space in Dropbox by deleting files there. Can someone explain how to put the contents (mostly word documents and some photos) of my current Dropbox onto an external hard drive in case I need something in the future? Step by step instructions I mean. I don't know how to do it, but am also concerned that the copied files could disappear from the external hard drive when I then delete them from my Dropbox account. Is that possible? I use Dropbox from a laptop computer. I looked at past discussion posts but they're all too complicated. Thank you SO much for your help!170Views0likes1CommentI'm over my storage limit but can't access my files to delete them
I have exceeded the storage limit for quite a while, but both the website and app will not allow me to access the files to delete them. How do I get to the files so I can delete and stop the emails trying to get me to upgrade? Thanks97Views0likes1Comment
