dropbox
My University signed up for a Dropbox for Business account. I would like to know how much space I am using on this account. Looking at https://www.dropbox.com/account#work, I can see the space used by everybody as having access to this account.
How can I see how much space I am using on my Dropbox for Business account?
The link generated for a file is something like this:
https://www.dropbox.com/_someRandomStrings_/_theNameOfTheFile
If you replace www with dl it will take you directly to the respective file. Alternatively, adding ?dl=1 at the end of the link above, will redirect it to the dl.dropbox.com URL.
Now, if you have the link to a folder and you add ?dl=1 at the end, it will start downloading it as an archive.
Source. And the official source.
(I have tested the method and it works.)
You can know this information through the Referrals Link. It would show the launcher indicating how much space you have already earned through referrals.
A couple of ways to access this link are:
Click on Getting Started Link in the sidebar.
Thereafter, the Referrals Link in point 6 which mentions Invite some friends to join Dropbox.
Click on Get Free Space which is present in the top panel
Thereafter, the Referrals Link which says Refer friends to Dropbox.

The only way I have found so far is to install the Dropbox client. During the installation the Dropbox client proposes to configure which folder to synchronize, it will then say how much space you use on your Dropbox for Business account:
