Only storage in Dropbox without mirroring the files on my devices

Dear all, is it possible to only store data in Dropbox without making a mirror map on my devices?

Hey JohnDeLange, thanks for posting to our Community again.

Do you mean that you'd only like to store files in your Dropbox account and have them on our servers, but not access them from your devices?

I guess that would be possible if you stopped using our applications or our website.

But keep in mind that if you do not login and access your account, the files will be deleted after 12 months on inactivity.

I hope this helps, but if I misunderstood your question, please let me know!

Hi Hannah, thank you for your reaction. You have understood my request very well.

In that case I will remain using your application and put the files to online, so only small files are downloaded on the devices.

Kind regards,

John
