Hi.
I`m paying a **bleep**load of money to be able to have all my music, movies, shows and folders on my computer, I now have 5 TB.

I of course don`t have the space on my computer to have 5 TB of stuff there. But to access them, I have to take them offline and they take up space on my computer. What the hell is the point of me having the files on my computer when I cant access them? I mean, I can open them in Dropbox.com, and they are only online. You should REALLY find a way to make the files available on the computer, even if they're online. 
Thank you.
