How To Check Dropbox Storage Usage

In my line of work, I use many online storage websites. These include OneDrive, Google Drive and of course Dropbox (the one I usually use when remotely sharing files with a client). I find these online storage sites to be very helpful when it comes to getting larger files sent to clients. I have written a few articles in the past on how to find the available storage space of OneDrive and even Google Drive. If you want to check out those articles, here they are:

I figured, why not write one on how to check Dropbox storage usage? This one is pretty easy, so get ready to learn how you can check the storage on your Dropbox account.

How To Check Dropbox Storage Usage

First, I will show you how to find it on the website:

Step 1: Head over to Dropbox. Once there, go ahead and sign into your account. You can sign in with Google or with your standard password and username.

Step 2: Now that you are in your account, go to the top-right. Click on your profile image to bring up the menu.

Step 3: The Dropbox Storage Usage info will be right there in front of you near the top. If you want to see more detail, click on the Settings link in the menu.

Step 4: Once in the Settings screen, under Personal Account, you will want to click on the Plan tab. That is to the right of General. This is where you can see how the space is being used. If you want to earn more space for free, Invite a friend. They will give you a 500 MB bonus for them installing it on their computer. Dropbox gives you 2 GB free, but you can upgrade that very easily by clicking the Upgrade button.
