Trick to clear cache Dropbox, OneDrive and Google Drive

Cloud storage services like Dropbox, OneDrive and Google Drive are quite useful, allowing users to store all their important data on the cloud and directly access the cloud without having to Install any software or program.

However, in the course of use, if you store too much data you will be "out" of storage space. You can then think of a solution to remove cache memory to free up space.

To clear cache on Dropbox, OneDrive and Google Drive, please refer to the following article of Network Administrator.
