Show all files online-only, but not use up the 300,000 limit in the desktop app
Allow you to view locally (on your computer) the full tree view of files stored in the cloud, and therefore not limit the number of files that can be synchronized locally on a computer (currently at ...
Hi, thanks for your answer.
The way I wanted to use Dropbox is as follows:
– copy all my work folders organized in a detailed tree structure (+/- 20TB) to the cloud.
– Then, locally on my different computers, synchronize all my files with the complete tree structure on my Finder (Mac), and with all the files in "online" mode and not accessible "offline", so that they do not take up space on my internal hard drive.
– And in use, I wanted folder by folder, according to the needs of each day, load a few files locally to work with, and then put them back "online".
The problem is that I cannot display my entire tree structure locally on my computers, because the Dropbox desktop application is limited to a display of +/- 300,000 files. And obviously I have many more.
So I am forced to use Selective synchronization, on my complex tree structure, it becomes very very laborious!!
