Is there a dynamic algorithm to keep files local?

I use Dropbox across two desktops, one laptop and an Android phone, primarily for synching, less for sharing. On the laptop, I would like to store all files locally that were opened in the last 12 months, on any connected device. Is that possible?

    Currently, there isn't a feature similar to what you're looking for with Dropbox.

    If you wish, you can suggest this change for others to vote on, so the dev team can look into this in future!
