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 account is in the Account section of dropbox.com:

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

Dropbox 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

Dropbox Basic, Plus, Family, and Professional
To check your available storage space:

1. Log in to dropbox.com.
2. Click your avatar (profile picture or initials) in the upper right.
3. Click Settings.
   • Dropbox Basic users will click Manage account.
4. Click Plan.
   • If you’re a Dropbox Basic user, you’ll skip this step.
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 joined.
     

Note: Shared folders that you haven’t joined aren’t included.

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