    <description>&lt;P&gt;Dropbox is using 14G of storage on my Mac which seems to defeat the purpose of Dropbox - can't spare 14G. &amp;nbsp;Shortcut in Finder causing the problem I believe&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Dropbox stores your files in the local Dropbox folder on your computer. It's main purpose is to sync those files to your account online. It's not a cloud-based folder where the files only exist online and you access them directly in the cloud. In order to access a file it needs to be on your local drive.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you want to save local drive space you can &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/sync/make-files-online-only" target="_blank"&gt;mark files as Online-only&lt;/A&gt; or use &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/sync/sync-choose-folders-to-sync" target="_blank"&gt;Selective Sync&lt;/A&gt; to remove complete folders from your local drive.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you Rich - was having trouble locating settings but I will try clicking on the links you provided and see if it gives me a clearer step by step roadmap to resolving.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
