When I add a new photo to my computer it doesn't get added to my account as online-only
When I add a new photo to my computer, I thought that it would automatically sync and add the photo to my dropbox.com/home as online only. But, it doesn't work for me. Isn't a new photo supposed to be automatically added to dropbox.com when the appropriate setting is on? Any suggestions for help?

Hey ba23t, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.
To clarify, a new file will be accessible on dropbox.com, once you add it to your local Dropbox folder and it syncs.
It won't sync as "online-only" immediately; initially, it will take up space on your hard drive, and once it's finished syncing, you can manually switch it to online-only.
Is this not the behavior you're seeing?
Let me know!
How do I ....'you can manually switch it to online-only.'

To switch a file to "online-only", you can simply right-click on it in your Dropbox folder and choose "make online-only".
I hope this helps!
