The only data in my DropBox is the 235GB I copied from a portable hard drive.  Somehow this drive is synced to my DropBox and I have been unable break the sync which is something else I'd like to do!

    You are in the company of many dumb assessment and I amust one. I did not notice that the "full" number I was seeing was a percent % not a value. I was reading 121% as 121G of 2T and couldn't figure out how 121 of 2 was full. Doh!
