Will I be able to use more than 600 GB of storage?
macOS Tahoe 26.0.1 Question:— My account has 2.01 TB of storage - can I expect to be able to use more than 600 GB of storage? Two years ago I ran into a problem when trying to store more than 600 GB and was advised by a member of the Dropbox Help Team to keep within that limit for an optimum performance. I am now planning to transfer my current Dropbox folder containing less than 600 GB to a new Seagate Ultra Touch HDD. and run Dropbox from there on my new iMac. As my account has 2.01 TB of storage is there any reason why I should not be able to exceed the 600 GB limit I have been adhering to? I want to be able to get the full benefit of my 2.01 TB account but am concerned that if I try I will encounter the same problem I had two years ago - i.e. Dropbox updating interminably. Please advise, Norman Fellows
Having trouble deleting my content. The option isn't there.
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.
I only have 750GB synced on my 1TB external drive, but it keeps getting full.
I bought a Mac Mini earlier this year and as most Mac Mini owners, the internal drive is too small. So I added a 1TB SSD to a Acasis case (the mini Mac Pro lookalike-case) and followed all the instructions on how to move the Dropbox folder to the external drive. Since then it's been a nightmare. My Dropbox account has about 1,5 TB in it so I don't sync everything but my music folder has to be synced since I'm a DJ. So I have maybe 750GB on the 1TB drive. But after a week Dropbox stopped working and syncing. And the SSD was full. Very weird. Restarts and re-installation of the Dropbox app didn't help. I had to remove files from the drive and then it started indexing, registering and syncing again. But I had to, again, select which folders not to have 'offline'. It worked for a week or two, then the same problem. Again. Exactly the same. Solved it the same way. Worked for a couple of weeks. It's getting a bit tired. It looks like the only way to solve this would be to get a bigger SSD, at least 2TB.
Dropbox uses a ton of hard drive space despite most files being online only
So, I've put ALL my files on online-only because my Mac was running out of space. In my Mac settings, Dropbox takes up 108 GB currently. Once I actually look at what folders are taking up space it's less than 2 GB (you can see in the screenshot what I mean). What is taking up all this space?
