Hi GiftofGaby, welcome to our Community!
It sounds like you're facing something similar to the OP of this thread, am I right? Would you be able to let me know a bit more info on this, please?
What is the OS you're using, along with the Dropbox version there? What is the exact issue you're going through?
Keep me posted!

I noticed that my space was dwindling. When I would check the storage space in System settings - and then ask for more information it would point to files in my dropbox folder. But when I would go to where they lived - they showed the icon that they were offline. When clicking on more info to see which files are taking up spaceFrom System settingswhen going into dropbox

Hi GiftofGaby, have you enabled the 'Online-only files on Mac' option on this page, which will show online-only files as taking up no space on your machine?
