To see which files are really taking up your storage space, adjust your Dropbox settings so that online-only files have both logical and physical size set to zero. The reason for this is that file size is calculated based on something called “logical size” rather than “physical size”. Here is the relevant text, in case it also vanishes: You can only find the OG post via google cache. That's why Megan's link redirects you right back here. To all who are by now banging their heads against the wall, here is the fix per DB:īizarrely, the Community post that actually contains this answer (a 124-page long thread) has been archived and is therefore inaccessible.
Also, the fact that it instantly goes from the green check mark to the cloud is weird in it self because if the file is local only, shouldn't it have some lag/delay in taking time for it to upload to ? since it does take a while to sync files in smart-sync after you download files In addition to the above, when I select the download folder, I see multiple "green check mark" icons, even though it says "up to date" at the bottom taskbar when I hover over dropbox icon.Īnd finally when I right click on the individual files that display the green check mark, they instantly go from showing a check mark to the online only gray cloud icon, but yet, the hard drive storage again does not clear up after doing this. See the steps below.ġ) I download files that increase storage spaceĢ) Automatic smart-sync detects these files and says "syncing X number of files left."ģ) After finishing, the hard drive space does not free up. The smart sync isnt freeing up hard drive disk space.
