Updated DB for MacOS file location thing - local drive is now completely full

I just had Dropbox update and move all of my files to a "more secure location" on my Mac. Now I have nearly no local storage and I don't know what to do. I'm at a stand still. Please help

    Hey MilesBeyond, thanks for posting on our forum. 

     

    From what I understand, you’re referring to the Dropbox for macOS on File Provider update, correct?

     

    If you select your files/folders, and right click on them, do you see an option to make them Online-only? If you select that, does it make a difference to the hard drive space that’s currently being used?

     

    Let me know.
