I have always used Dropbox just to have a cloud backup of my files. It's simple to drag my entire Documents folder to the synchronized folder on my laptop. Then in the background Dropbox uploads it to the cloud. This is perfect.
The problem is that I want to move these cloud files into their own place. The reason is that I need to reclaim the space on my laptop but I want to keep the backups in the cloud.
I can't figure out how to do this. It seems like it should be so simple but googling and searching for help has not given me the strategy I need.
Thanks in advance.
