Integrating Online Files & Folders with Microsoft Explorer

[Jeaniest]

Hello!

Noob question here

When I am making files and folders "online only" they disappear from my Explorer file structure.

I don't find the DropBox app helpful but is there no way to allow all files including those stored online to be visible within the regular explorer folder hierarchy?

Fingers crossed

Marking a file or folder as Online-only shouldn't make it disappear from Explorer. If you're using Selective Sync and uncheck a folder, it WILL disappear. What exact steps are you taking when this happens?

Hummmmm

I click dropbox -> make online only (within Explorer).

Challenge I am facing is that the files are still stored on my Hard Disk occupying space 😕

Sorry to jump in, @Jeaniest, but do you mean that you're right clicking on a file in the Dropbox folder, then choosing "make online-only" and the file just disappears from the Dropbox folder completely?

That's pretty odd. What if you then search for this file in your file explorer? Does it come up?
