Understanding your Dropbox storage usage
Running low on Dropbox storage and not sure why? Shared folders might be the culprit. I'm Calvin, and let me show you what's actually counting against your quota. Start at dropbox dot com and open your account.
Navigate to your plan details. You'll see a storage bar broken down by your own files, backup, replay, and shared folders you've joined. Here's what most people miss. On a personal plan, every shared folder you join counts against your storage, even if you didn't add the files yourself.
To see what's hogging all of your space, sort files by size and look for folders you may have joined but no longer need. Leaving the shared folder removes it from your quota.
You're all set. Now you know where your storage is going and how to start recovering it. If this helped, make sure to share it with someone who needs it. Thanks for watching.
