If you use the free version of Dropbox, then you likely already know that you only get a paltry 2GB of storage to use. That can fill up pretty fast.
Whether you’re a paying customer with a large account, or a cheapskate trying to get by on the freebie giveaway, you’ll eventually come to a point where you need to clear out some space in order to make room for files that you want to upload. What happens when you seemingly delete something, it disappears, but you still don’t have the extra space that should’ve come up when you got rid of that stuff from your Dropbox account?
It’s simple. When you delete something in Dropbox, you’re not actually deleting it. Dropbox hides it from you, storing it in a separate folder just in case you ever want to restore that item. Once you delete those files from that special folder, then you’ll receive the space savings you were looking for. However, pulling this off isn’t exactly straight forward. That’s why we’re here, though, to show you how.
Step 1: Log into your Dropbox account, right-click on the file or folder you want to delete, and click Delete.
Step 2: Mouse over the “…” button, in between the Share a folder button and the search bar in the upper-right hand corner of your screen, and click Show deleted files.
Step 3: Now, you should see the file or folder that you thought you deleted as a grayed out item in the list. Think of it as the ghost of your file.
Step 4: Right click on the file or folder you believed you vanquished, and click Permanently delete…
That’s it, you’re done! You’ve mastered the ability to permanently delete stuff from Dropbox.
The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.
The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.
Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.
However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
