How to delete files locally, but not from the website?
How can I delete files from my laptop but not from dropbox? My computer is reaching it's max and I need to start deleting some files to make room but still want to have access to them later. How do I go about doing that? I only have one laptop so I don't really need to have access to files over multiple devices. I just want a backup of my files so that I can delete them from my computer but still have access to them later.

Hey DiFig, I hope you're doing well!
You can always have a look at our selective sync settings, and see if this would work out for you.
This works with folders, not specific files, but it would help you save some hard-drive space.
If you have any questions, let me know!
ok, i'll try that but i really just want to turn it off. i've reached my limit and and i'm getting tired of getting the reminders to upgrade. is there any way to just turn it off?
