Move Files to the Cloud – Transfer important documents photos and work files to Dropbox. This keeps them safe and accessible from any device while clearing up space on your desktop 💻 . Create Folders and Subfolders – Organise your files by category project or date. A clear folder structure makes it easier to locate what you need without searching through endless icons 📂. Use Selective Sync – With Dropbox Selective Sync you can access files from your desktop without taking up space on your hard drive. Mark files as online-only to free up even more room.

Keeping only what you use regularly helps maintain a clean and efficient workspace 📤. Set Up Automated Backups – Use Dropbox Backup to ensure your desktop files are always protected. In case of accidental deletion or device failure you can easily restore your data ✨. A tidy desktop means less digital clutter and more focus on what really matters.
