Keeping Online-Only files at DropBox Due to Insufficient Local Storage
Please point out where I have gone wrong: At Setting/General, Online-only files on Mac set to âONâ as per appendix 1 At Finder (Mac), Open the Dropbox folder, Right-click the file or folder you'd like to set to online-only, expect to click on âMake online-onlyâ but no such option at my desktop (MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6). Not sure why! The Local Hard disk is still clogged-up with DropBox files that I want to convert to online-only, as per Appendix 2. Please advise the steps required to clear out the files. Do I need to carry out file deletion? Next, I tried to transfer more files into DropBox (from an external drive) expecting no local hard disk space would be used since the new files are online-only. However, the same error message, as per Appendix 3, appears. Questions: What other settings are needed in addition to setting to ON for âOnline-only files on Macâ? Why is there no option at my right-click on DropBox folders or files to pick âMake online onlyâ What additional steps are need to read/paly my online-only files, apart from being connected to Internet. Do I need to delete the existing files at the Local Disk to free up the occupied space after my files become online only?
Hard drive is full, even though the files are online only.
I have made lots of files online only to free up space on my hard drive, but dropbox has stopped syncing claiming that there is not enough disk space. The top level folder says that it has 5TB of content, but in the four folders it contains there is less than 100 gb. â â I have restarted dropbox, restarted the computer, and waited for ages, but the problem persists... Please help.
