How to check how much Dropbox storage space is left

The fastest way to check how much storage space you have left in your Dropbox is in the Account section of dropbox.com:

Dropbox Basic, Plus, Family, and Professional: Check my available storage.

Dropbox Business Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise: Check my available storage.

If you've run out of storage space in your Dropbox Basic account, consider upgrading to Dropbox Plus or Professional.

How to check your account space

To check your available space:

1. Sign in to Dropbox.

5. Check the bar under Personal Dropbox space. This shows the combination of regular and shared files in your account and unused space.
   • Regular files: the sum of space used by files and folders in your account that aren’t shared
   • Shared files: the sum of space used by shared files and folders that you’ve added to your account

Dropbox Basic users can also check their available storage at the bottom of the left sidebar. You can see your current used storage and how much storage you have left. If you click “+” (plus icon) or Get more space, you can add more storage space by upgrading to a different Dropbox plan.
