My computer storage is being taken up by Dropbox

My drop box is taking up all my storage space on my Mac but I need all the files for my work. What can I do ?

    Hi Violagardens, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    If the space is being used up, you can mark files and folders as online-only, so that they don't take up as much space on your machine.

     

    If you need any further assistance, please let me know!

        The article I attached in my previous post should provide you with the information to make them online-only, and also how to mark them as available offline if you need them on your machine.
