I cannot find 5.6GB worth of files/folders that Dropbox says I have in my account
I have a basic dropbox with access to 4.8GB (collected through promotion over the years). Looking at all my dropbox folders and files including those shared with me, I hadrly have 2GB worth of files. But Dropbox says I used 5.6GB of 4.8GB available and forses me to upgrade. Well, I am happy to delete the couple of GB to keep my basic account, but I cannot find those 5.6GB. Where do I look? Are there ghost folders? I checked all, including shared... and I am clueless as to where dropbox even sees 5.6GB.... help! 😞
Found the issue, i had external drives backup turned on! cleared that and all works now:)
In fact, I can only see 836 MB in my dropbox folder....
