iPad Pro Dropbox taking up 4.3 gig?

[emembee]

I cant think why Dropbox is taking up so much space on my 10.5. I do not have any offline downloads setup, anyone know if this is just the normal size for it (using Settings General iPad Storage)?

The only thing I changed recently was ARQ backup from my Mac which would use up a lot of space but this is held on the Dropbox server only, not on my iPad (or Mac).


Thanks.

I guess it is the cache? Even if you don’t download stuff for offline access, cache can still be generated. Maybe check that out.

No idea how to check cache on iPad, is there such a tool available? (I use CleanMyMac on my MBP).

Cache? Are you sure?

What do you see when you open a DropBox?

Is anyone sharing a folder with you, or are you sharing anything with anyone else?

Clear the cache. The website link shows you how to do this.

Thanks for the replies, but clearing cache does very little, still showing as 4.64 GB for Documents and Data. The App Size ia 170.5 MB.

Bit stuck so may contact Dropbox support, though fortunately I have plenty of space left on my iPad.

Delete the app and reinstall it

This did it! No idea what was wrong, probably iOS bug in detailing space used. Thanks. Meanwhile will keep check on how it progresses.
