[QUOTE="Mark F, post: 1935543, member: 301631"] Thank you all. I've read the EclecticLight article and have established that the (external) disk in question is not formatted with APFS so CCC tells me it does not contain snapshots. That is, I cannot turn the snapshot option on. The disk is used as a TM backup disk so everything on it is TM snapshots. I also followed Randy's link to [URL="https://web.archive.org/web/20170321110308/http://Pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html"]OSX Tips Where did my Disk Space go?[/URL] and established that the total of my log files is about 103mb, far less than the missing 300gb. And also looked at /Volumes and determined that there aren't any false volumes. I do not see any directories for DropBox. Would it be under a different name or abbreviation that is not obvious? Thanks again. Mark [/QUOTE]
