ImportantNew files you create in Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, Forms, and Jamboard use up your Google storage space. Files that already exist don't count toward storage unless they're modified on or after June 1, 2021.

The amount of storage for each user depends on your Google Workspace edition. Most Google Workspace editions have pooled storage. Pooled storage is indicated in the following tables as total storage or a storage amount times the number of End User licenses.


Everyone gets 15 GB of cloud storage at no charge with their Google Account. The rest of the paid Google One storage is shared between family members. Learn how to start or stop sharing with your family.


I thought "smart sync" was so that Dropbox automatically makes files I haven't used in a while online only.



I don't see a smart sync option on my M1 Mac (macOS Monterey 12.1), but I have "Make online-only" and "Make available offline" when I right click on a file. But I don't seem to have a smart sync option enabled because old files I haven't touched in months are filling up my drive. Aren't they supposed to be changed to "online only" by themselves? They did this before, but now I have to do it manually and it takes forever.



Where is the "save hard drive space automatically" option? I can't find it anymore.

I'm not a Mac user so the details may be a bit fuzzy, but I believe that happens based on the space available on your drive, and not over a period of time. Files can automatically switch to Online-only when disk space is low.


Thanks. In the past, they became online-only when they had been inactive for some time. I really liked this. Not for all files, but for most files. I know they changed it so that if you click "Make available offline", the file/folder won't be affected by the automatic online-only option.



My issue is that it doesn't work like it used to. I used to have this option, but I can't find it anymore. Is the functionality removed or is it a bug?






I have recently selected "online only" for nearly all my files that have been stored both on my MacBook Pro and on Dropbox so as to provide more space on my MBP hard drive. When I started this process, I had only 4.7% of the hard drive available and now after about 18 hours of syncing, I have only 2.5% remaining. I would have expected that of the hard drive space, the amount available would have increased not decreased. Why is this happening?


dude this has been happening to me for over a year now and idfk what to do. no matter what I try, and I've tried everything I can possibly think of and anything anyone else has suggested online or in person, and still nothing changes. i have dropbox set to online only by default and it still doesn't change. and I constantly go back in and make my folders online only, but they somehow manage to change back to being available offline anyways. it's killing my hard drive and it seems like there's no fix. everyone I've talked to about this is just as clueless as I am. Please please PLEASE let me know if you figure/figured something out to fix this. I'm desperate lol

What is the OS you're using, along with the Dropbox version there? Also, when did you start encountering this issue? Did you recently delete/upload a large number of files to your Dropbox account perhaps?


Why does Dropbox store all of its files in my "User" folder on my hard drive? The whole point of using Dropbox was to keep my hard drive free of all the files. I'm now out of disk space due to the Dropbox files.


You've misunderstood the purpose of Dropbox and how it works. Dropbox not a cloud-based folder or drive where your files are only stored online. It's a file synchronization service, meant to keep a copy of the files that you save on your local drive in-sync with the copy in your account and on any other linked computer. The Dropbox folder on your computer is a folder like any other and it takes up space on your drive.


If you want to save space on your local drive then you can use Selective Sync to remove the local copy of certain folders. Just know that you'll only be able to access those folders through the Dropbox website if you remove them from your computer. Also, make sure that a folder is completely synced (green check mark) before you remove it with Selective Sync.

The Alcubierre drive ([alkuˈβjere]) is a speculative warp drive idea according to which a spacecraft could achieve apparent faster-than-light travel by contracting space in front of it and expanding space behind it, under the assumption that a configurable energy-density field lower than that of vacuum (that is, negative mass) could be created.[1][2] Proposed by theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre in 1994, the Alcubierre drive is based on a solution of Einstein's field equations. Since those solutions are metric tensors, the Alcubierre drive is also referred to as Alcubierre metric.


Objects cannot accelerate to the speed of light within normal spacetime; instead, the Alcubierre drive shifts space around an object so that the object would arrive at its destination more quickly than light would in normal space without breaking any physical laws.[3]


Although the metric proposed by Alcubierre is consistent with the Einstein field equations, construction of such a drive is not necessarily possible. The proposed mechanism of the Alcubierre drive implies a negative energy density and therefore requires exotic matter or manipulation of dark energy.[4] If exotic matter with the correct properties cannot exist, then the drive cannot be constructed. At the close of his original article,[5] however, Alcubierre argued (following an argument developed by physicists analyzing traversable wormholes[6][7]) that the Casimir vacuum between parallel plates could fulfill the negative-energy requirement for the Alcubierre drive.


Another possible issue is that, although the Alcubierre metric is consistent with Einstein's equations, general relativity does not incorporate quantum mechanics. Some physicists have presented arguments to suggest that a theory of quantum gravity (which would incorporate both theories) would eliminate those solutions in general relativity that allow for backward time travel (see the chronology protection conjecture) and thus make the Alcubierre drive invalid.
