You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Newbie here...! It seems that dropbox is storing many files (from my IPad Tablet) that I do not want dropbox to store/copy/upload. How do I make sure that only specific files from my IPad tablet and my Window Laptop are stored on DropBox? I have only the DropBox "Basic Plan". Thanks for your help.1.1KViews0likes1CommentWhy is Dropbox taking up so much space on my iPad pro?
This might be the wrong category, but it was the closest I could find that seemed to fit. My iPad is set to store files online only. I tried to research this as much as I could before coming here and starting this thread, but I'm no expert, so maybe I'm missing something obvious? When I check the app, it says I have zero files accessible offline, which is how it should be, and yet when I check my apps, it says the dropbox is taking up a whopping 158gb of space on my 1tb hard drive. It's the biggest storage hog by more than triple the next largest app (Clip Studio Paint - I'm an artist and I have lots of brushes, textures, etc... loaded into the app). I have cleared the cache on Dropbox a couple of times and that hasn't made much of any difference. I have restarted my iPad as well and that hasn't made any difference either. I back up all my work files to dropbox more or less daily, plus reference material and any app specific stuff because I use Clip Studio on my Mac Pro as well, so dropbox is how I get things back and forth (I HATE mac's sync system - you couldn't pay me enough to use it, or time machine). I don't have the dropbox desktop app on my Mac pro either - I just use the internet to upload files (my Mac pro is too old to support the desktop app). Anyway, from everything I can tell, there should be no reason dropbox is taking up so much space. I would greatly appreciate someone helping me with what it seems I am obviously missing. My iPad pro is a 3rd generation 12.9 inch version and it's running iOS 17.6.1. As I mentioned before, it has a 1tb drive and I don't remember how much ram or what the processor chip is. Sorry.Solved628Views0likes2CommentsDo I need enough space if I access and edit my Dropbox files from a mobile device?
Hello, I'm thinking to pass to a tablet and use online apps. Is it possibile to work directly online saving and accessing to my files all put on dropbox online? I mean.. if I buy 2 Tera of spaceon dropbox but my tablet's hard drive has only 500 GB, what happens? Thanks D349Views0likes1CommentData Loss After PC Factory Reset
Hello - Recently, I reset my computer to factory settings due to a suspicion of hacking. As a result, I had to format my drives, including one that was linked to Dropbox. Before the reset, I checked and believed that the files on this drive had been backed up to Dropbox. However, upon looking today, it appears I have lost a significant amount of critical content; only one file remains in the folder. I am reaching out to see if there is any possibility for Dropbox to recover these files. I would greatly appreciate any assistance or guidance, as these files are of significant importance to me.346Views0likes7Comments
