Removing files from PC

Removing files from PC

I have dropbox come up on my File Explorer, but the files take up WAY too much room. There are a lot of videos. I want to do it so it's online only. I went to SmartSync and changed it to online only, but the files are still on my computer. If I delete them, they are deleted from my online dropbox too. How can I keep the files online and remove from my PC?

Hey @pzycochik, thanks for using Dropbox and sorry to hear you're having issues with Smart Sync.

Can you please let me know if the desktop app is 'up to date' in your system tray or if it's still syncing?

Also, could you send me a screenshot of the files that are taking up space on your computer to check their syncing icons?

Thanks!
