Hi from me as well, beyon! The option to make your files online-only is currently only available if you’re on a paid subscription, or if you install the Dropbox for macOS on File Provider update, like Megan mentioned above.

Hi beyon, is it safe to guess that you're also using a Dropbox Basic plan on your end?
In order for you to be able to make your files online-only, you need to either update to the latest version of Dropbox for macOS on File Provider.
Or, if you’re on Dropbox Basic and you’d like to save storage space on your device, you can use selective sync. Or, upgrade your account.

Is this feature not available with the basic plan?
I had a lot of issues with my current provider. So I wanted to check first, if those issues would be solved with dropbox.
