.txt, .py, .java files all empty, and my quota is full

pigeony

I am trying to sync my dropbox account from my old laptop to my new laptop (both Windows 11). However, I noticed that all my files containing code are all empty. I checked these files on the dropbox website as well and they all show 0 bytes. Upon checking the version history, it still shows 0 bytes. These files are all fine on my old laptop, however. I am wondering if it is a kind of storage issue as my dropbox is currently full (although these files were created prior to this I believe).

 

Thank you for the help.

Hi @pigeony, thanks for messaging the Community!

If your Dropbox account is full, then it means that any changes wouldn't sync to and from the site and other devices.

This means that if those files were empty after your storage had filled up, and then edited at a later date on a device, then those edits wouldn't sync to the site.

You can read up more about what happens if your account is overquota in this article.

If you need any further assistance, please let me know!
