DTTG file storage on iOS - why do 100 documents consume 14GB

Hi,
I just checked the file storage of my iPhone, and it says that the documents and data consume almost 14 GB of my storage. How can this happen, as I limited the storage to the minimum of just 100 documents?

I can’t answer this, but to help others who can:

  • What versions are you on?
  • What is the size on your Mac?
  • What sync method are you using?
  • Is deleted items empty?
  • Roughly what are the document types?

@saltlane Thanks for your response and sorry for my late one.

  • What versions are you on?
    On iOS 3.8.4 on OSX 3.9.6

  • What is the size on your Mac?
    Database 1 “Eingang” on iCloud: 200MB
    Database 2 on Webdav: 5.4 GB
    Database 3 on Icloud: 60 MB
    Database 4: 1.4 GB

  • What sync method are you using?
    iCloud: CloudKit plus 2x WebDAV

  • Is deleted items empty?
    No, but 15 items shouldn’t make it

  • Roughly what are the document types?
    Approx. 95% PDF+Text

So on my iPhone the size of documents are 2x compared to OSX. I would expect with 100 documents to be stored on the mobile to be at rougly 500 MB.

Something is fishy. Nevertheless I appreciate your support.
