I saw the post about "make online only" for Mac, but I'm on a PC and have the same issue. When I right click on a file, I do not see an option for make online only. I'm using a new PC and thought when I downloaded the dropbox app I said that I wanted online access only. Do I need to uninstall and re-install, or is there another fix? I had to pause syncing because I'm getting a "full" message.
Hi @CAMP! Thanks for posting this here.
Just to clarify, did you select your files/folders to be online-only upon setting up the Dropbox app and they were still synced locally?
Apart from that, can you please use selective sync to remove any large folders you don’t need to sync on your Dropbox app, resume syncing, and let me know if you can see any difference to your app’s syncing status?
Keep me posted!

Yes, I did. I think that I found the problem. Unfortunately, my organization is not allowing Dropbox at this time - major headache! Trying to use One Drive at work and then upload to Dropbox for use off site.
