5 TopicsWhy 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.

I have an iPhone 15 pro max. I use Dropbox to back up from my computer and iPhone. Here’s the problem. In uploading pictures and videos from the iPhone to Dropbox via the app. Then I delete the videos from my phone. I’m doing this to increase memory in my iPhone. The problem is that the Dropbox app now has 88gb in the iPhone. If it’s in the cloud on Dropbox, why is it taking up storage space on the app? Can this be fixed?240Views0likes1CommentDropbox takes up 90GB space on my iPhone.
I have 200gb of stuff in my drop box, on my iphone drop box takes up 90Gb of space, I can’t download the photos on it because I dont have enough space, I though there was a way to store it all seperately from storage or anything like that??Solved1KViews0likes4CommentsDropbox says I've exceeded my quota, even though I've already upgraded my account.
Hello thanks for checking in. I have PURCHASED Dropbox on my Windows 10 computer and uploaded an important folder but when I come to download it on both my IPads it is saying I have exceeded my qouta and need to PURCHASE Dropbox. Obviously this is incorrect as I have purchased the program. Up to now I am not impressed with Dropbox as surely the fact that I have bought the program should mean I can AUTOMATICALLY use it on ANY of my devices including my IPhone without difficulty. I only bought Dropbox as I could not get my around ICloud but there again maybe being 84 years of age does not help. Thanks for any help.

I have Dropbox iOS app and a Plus account with 2TB space. I'm currently uploading all my phones pictures and videos but started getting a message saying my device storage is full. I checked and I have plenty of space on my iPhone. I also noticed that the size of the app on my phone goes up from 1gb to 20gb+ at different times. It looks like an error to me but I'm not sure how to try fix it. I also can't confirm if all my pictures and videos uploaded because the web app is so slow that I can't see what the most recent uploads were. Anyone get a similar message of no storage space when there is some?1.3KViews0likes5Comments
