![]() ![]() If there is a stable folder location visible to the Windows VM, I would not need Dropbox on Windows VM. I can’t reach them with my Windows programs now. It conceals the location of files stored in the MacOS side. The trouble began a few days ago when I upgraded to the most recent MacOS Dropbox. (BTW, I do not use, cannot use, Windows in S mode.)įor example, in Windows 11 on the new Macbook M1, I could see the MacOS Dropbox folders as something like Z:\dropbox\family\. In fact, they worked fine when I installed Dropbox on the MacOS side of my new Macbook M1 a month ago. all worked perfectly in this dual environment (MacOS and Windows 10). Net) for backup, organization, photos, etc. ![]() I have used it on a virtual machine on my Macbook pro for 8 years. Yes, I am a newbie on the Forum, but I have used Dropbox for over a decade. ![]() But let's not let it get to that, I deperately want to find a fix.Thanks for responding (and so fast!)-very encouraging to this newbie. I'm hoping a new version can fix this becasue right now my brand new computer is full becasue of this and if it can't be fixed then I will have no choice but to ask for my money back and go somewhere else. Get info on my hard drive says my computer is full, with 1.68TB of documents (I only keep dropbox in the docs folder). And it really is taking up that much space. Basically I've lost about 350GB of hard drive space. By my calculations it should be taking up about 1.25 TB. But that dropbox folder is still taking up 1.68TB, with over 300GB switched to online only. I ran your fix, and it seemed to resync a bunch of stuff, and I watched the 2.05TB number drop to 1.68 to match the actual size. In the get info box, when I get info on the whole dropbox folder, before I toggled the 'logical mac switch' the folder was listed as 2.05TB at the top of the window, but in the size details as 1.68TB. On my new M1 Apple silicon, I have had to turn two folders (over 300GB+) to online only, and the dropbox folder is still taking up 1.68TB. On my intel mac, where everything is synced locally, the dropbox folder is 1.73TB My plan is 2TB, of which I am according to, using 1.57TB Let me just go through some numbers again before I explain what the fix did. OK that fixed one problem but not the main issue. So basically my dropbox files are taking up roughly 400GB more on my M1 mac than they actually are on. I had to turn a 300GB folder to 'online only' to drop the dropbox folder size down to still over 1.7TB. On my new M1 Macbook Air, also running 111.4.472, on Big Sur, That dropbox folder takes over 2TB (or at least it tries to before it stops syncing becasue it runs out of space). (Well that's actually a huge difference but my other computer has much bigger files) That intel mac machine is running Dropbox 111.4.472 on Catalina.īut this is where it gets interesting. A little bit more than the 1.57TB but nothing that is worth worrying about. I have an existing intel mac also with a 2TB hard drive and when everything is synced (No smart or selective sync and everything local), that machine says the dropbox folder is taking up 1.73TB of space. With a 2TB SSD and I pay for 2TB of dropbox storage.Īccording to the app settings on my computer and also when on, I am using 1.57TB of my 2TB plan. ![]()
