I have had two very strange things happen since upgrading to Mavericks. One is when I right click, Dropbox no longer offers me the opportunity to share a folder from the sub menu. I guess this isn't that weird, maybe something needs to be updated but the next one is...

I now have 25-30 GB more free space:confused: where did this come from, I hope stuff isn't being deleted, anyone else have this issue.

DL the latest version of Dropbox from here and install it. That should fix you up.

Many users are reporting more disk space after the Mavs install and it is normal. The installer deletes local backups from Time Machine and a lot of cache files. You are in good shape... not to worry. :)

Need help!!

I was late in installing mavericks right before holidays. Dropbox was working fine but since mavericks it will not upload the files I put in. I downloaded the latest version 2.6.2 and it still is not working. Says it is uploading a file I do not even have in there anymore?? I tried putting a file in a shared folder and it said it was uploading but never did? Anyone have any suggestions?

You must know this by now, but Dropbox is having a lot of issues right now. Huge outage.
