I have a 110TB plan and only 25gb are used because all of the files are being stored on my computer

My computer is completely clogged because the files I am creating and uploading are being stored in the documents section of my computer of my computer.  why is my company payijng for all of this storage if I am storing it?  How can I get all of the files off my computer and have my co-workers access the files?

    Because that is how Dropbox is intended to work. Dropbox offers syncing capabilities BUT is primarily a syncing tool with things local as well as in cloud so if your internet goes down you still have the data. 

     

    To turn it online only look at https://help.dropbox.com/sync/make-files-online-only
