How can I make my files âonline-onlyâ to free up hard drive space?
Hi! Iâm on macOS and I use Dropbox with the âonline-onlyâ option (Smart Sync). Downloading/working with files is fine, but after I open/download things once, some of them remain stored locally. For example I have ~350 GB in Dropbox cloud storage, but my Dropbox folder still uses ~130 GB on my Mac. How can I remove all local copies and make everything online-only again? Is there a way to automatically remove local files after some time if I donât use them (like âfree up space after X daysâ)? If thereâs no automatic option, whatâs the best way to manage this manually when you have lots of files that you open once and then donât touch for months? Thanks!

This happens every time I use DropBox and has been for the last 4 weeks. Any ideas people? Thanks in advance James
My macOS desktop app gives me an incorrect low disk space error message.
Dropbox Plan Professional Device M1 iMac Operating System/Browser (if using the web) MacOS Tahoe Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 238.4.6305 Question or Issue My Deskto App is showing that I'm using 4 TB of 4 TB. My online account shows that I'm using 2.76 TB of 4 TB. The online info is correct. The info from the desktop is wrong. I am getting Low Disk Space messages and my files aren't syncing and I think it's because the desktop app thinks I have no space available. Any idea how I can fix this? ThanksMy Dropbox app keeps indexing files and I'm running out of hard drive space
I was running out of room on my MacBook Air (2 TB, Sonoma 14.7.8) and was told to make all Dropbox folders Online only to free up storage. It started indexing and freed up almost 1 TB so I was happy for a few minutes. Then it kept indexing and a few days later I was out of memory again. This has been going on for 6 weeks! ChaptGPT calls this a "rehydration" DropbBox Death loop. Chat said to mark the whole DropBox master folder as Online Only, then stop and restart DropbBox ap. Did not solve the problem. Possible clue: My main computer (MacBook Pro (4 TB, Sonoma 14.6.1) is doing fine except the Finder now shows that there is a 20 GB "Conflicted" copy of my DropBox files. Can anyone help me?
