Dropbox folder in Mac HD taking up most of the space
I'm migrating from an iMac with Mojave to a mini with Sequoia.
Time machine run well and installed everything smoothly (of course I have to update some of the apps to the new OS).
It looks like Sequoia is not allowing creating folders inside Macintosh hd, so my folders's structure has to be reorganized.
There's an issue limiting my flexibility in managing the situation: my dropbox folder is taking up space in Macintosh HD > Users > My Name > Dropbox
Any advice?
Thank you!

Hey unguitar, thanks for your post!
There are two ways to free up space on your hard drive.
One is to make your files "online-only"; when you make your files online-only, they stop taking up physical space on the drive but you can still see them in your Dropbox folder.
Another way is to unsync entire folders from your Dropbox folder, but keep them available on dropbox.com with selective sync.
I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any questions.
