When I installed the DropBox app on my computer I chose to add SmartSync so that my computer files would automatically be backed up into DropBox. When I did so, there was a note at the end saying that if I deleted any files from DropBox I would delete them from my computer, too. Does the same work in reverse? If I delete files from my computer will I also be deleting them from DropBox? My DropBox account has more storage space than my computer does, and I wanted DropBox so I could have a way of freeing up storage space on my computer's hard drive by storing my thousands of photos on DropBox and on an external hard drive instead of in my computer's hard drive. Is there any way to delete photos from the computer without deleting them from DropBox?
Use Smart Sync > Online Only feature. It will remove the Dropbox folders you choose(to help you free up space on the laptop), and only show in dropbox.com.
