File access
16 TopicsMy free account has nothing downloaded. It shows use 1.4 gb, but I see no files.
My account has been open since 2014. It shows 6 GB of files "Not enough space to access the folder". We were paying for our account back then. Back in 2016 or so, we "lost" all our files. After many contacts with DropBox, we could never get an answer as to where our files went, so just gave up. Now, I see this 6GB of "shared" files that can't be uploaded because there isn't enough space. How can I see what these files are? Perhaps our lost 2014 files? How can I get access??? Thanks.783Views0likes5CommentsWhere did my dropbox files and folders go?
Hi. I have received a couple of emails from Dropbox saying my storage is all used up. That's fine - I can delete some files and folders and tidy it all up a bit. However, has Dropbox recently changed their storage options? I used to save loads of information to Dropbox and now it seems I can barely save a thing. I have the basic plan and haven't changed my plan. I am having trouble finding my files and folders. I can see two recent folders (which were a back up of my website), but nothing more. I've checked the deleted folder just in case Dropbox have deleted some of my files and folders, but that is empty too. Any suggestions please?483Views0likes1CommentHow 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!113Views0likes1CommentMy 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?Solved100Views1like4CommentsI'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
