Timed comments not saving
I've been trying to make comments on my videos, but after I close out of that web browser and then go back, the comments have disappeared. I'm used to working on the web version of dropbox, and this has never been an issue before. It's also happening on multiple videos, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Help!

The Dropbox site shows that I have 15 GB online but locally there is only 2 GB, why?
My account has around 15gb, and everything is synced to my local folder - and I double-checked that by comparing the list of folders. The folder size, locally, is 1.93gb. Online, it says 16.29gb (and yes, it's 1.29 more than my max). Every time I try to delete something, it gets back to that full size (and more) after 30…

Giant website interface
I've used Dropbox all day, every day, for years. Just in the last couple of weeks, my Mac desktop interface with dropbox.com has become comically large.
