Make it easy and fast to locate and delete the largest files in your account.

I have 10 years of content on my dropbox.

When it's full or when I want to clear some space, it takes me 4 hours+ to select all folders, calculate the space and then delete them.

Why is this so unpractical?

I want to easily spot all the big files and delete them

All other apps have this functionality, yet Dropbox doesnt.

Fix this please.

Hi there, @Monnakkies, thanks for reaching out to us.

Would you mind clarifying what kind of feature you're looking for?

If you're looking to check the size of your files and folders on the Dropbox website, you can follow these steps.

But if it's something else you're after, please provide me with some more details about the feature and how you'd like it to work.

Thanks in advance!

Hey!

I'm looking for a feature where the size is already automatically calculated.

I have over 100+ folders, which I have to manually select and press Calculate Size. this process literally takes me hours to properly find folders to clear.

Like Google or other apps , have a feature which is "clear space". It Automatically filters files you haven't touched for months/years and are filtered by biggest size. So this way you can easily and effectively delete big files and make space.

Hi @Monnakkies,

Did you get a chance to look over Hannah's response? We'll have to close this idea unless you can clarify some more specifics.

I'm looking for a feature that many other apps have.
When the space is near full, that you will get an overview on what files are large, and haven't been used in a while. That way the app can propose ways to easily make space.

Also that you would be able to see with a few clicks where the biggest space is taken.
Now it's all guess work and manually selecting all, having to calculate the space etc.
