How can I make my files in my Dropbox folder online-only?
Two questions: I have Dropbox on two computers, my laptop, a Surface and a Desktop which is an Acer. On the laptop the balance between what is stored on my hardrive and what is stored in the cloud is working. But Dropbox is taking up too much space on the ACER and I want to change the designation of all the Dropbox files on the Acer so they are available only in the cloud and are not stored on my hardrive. How can I do that? And question number two is there a way to do for all Dropbox files and not have to do them one at a time. Thank you.

Hi Hebephrene, thanks for messaging the Community!
You can mark files and folders as online-only by right clicking them and choosing the 'Online-only' option.
You can do this in bulk by selecting the entire Dropbox folder itself and marking it as online-only, and also make online-only the default for any new files added on the site.
If you need any further assistance, please let me know!
