![]() ![]() On a separate note, I have previously tried to solve this issue by getting myself a nice big TB external hard drive. Unfortunamtely for those of us with very limited (read: ridiculously small!) space it is going to be a continual problem. Anyone with hundreds of GBs of space on their computer would probably never even notice it. I guess there is no plausible answer for this one. At some point over the next few days, I expect to be in the middle of my workflow before my HD space begins depleting rapidly to Zero bytes for now logical reason. So far I have the expected amount of HD space free 13.5GB. I've just reinstalled and finished syncing as before. Just for testing purposes, I unlinked my account, uninstalled dropbox and regained my 16GB. dropbox folder within the root of my Home directory (HD > Users) that has a file named "instance 3" and is a further 3GB in size. I'm not sure how to find out exactly where any other space may be taken. Not only that, but when my computer HD goes down to 0bytes of space, I can't get anything done at all. This is incredibly unproductive as I seem to be spending most of my time at work configuring dropbox. So why does dropbox keep stealing my available space? Note: this situation doesn't happen if dropbox is not installed. I have tried and checked and tried and checked, and I am only syncing the folder I require. ![]() If I leave it and get on with something else, I find that my HD space begins to gradually and erratically creep back up again. I start again, and it just keeps happening. If I uninstall dropbox, I get my 16GB back. However, over the course of a few days I suddenly begin to get messages warning me that my HD space is running low, until eventually the messages turn to "your hard drive is full". ![]() Having done this, I now have 13.5GB available. With 16GB of space available, I download and install dropbox, then proceed to sync the one and only folder I wish to sync, which is 2.5GB large. That is, we are all connected to the same account but only sync our one personal folder. ![]() I am using shared dropbox within a company. I have a little macbook with minimal HD space, hence why dropbox is very handy for me. I have a major problem with disk space, and I just can't seem to find an answer to the problem. ![]()
