Hi Jay,
All files are already marked "online" and "online-only files on Mac" is enabled.
The problem is that when the new version of DB took all the files (1TB) online, it did not release the 1TB of disk space, so if I change all to "offline", DB grabs ANOTHER 1TB of disk space.

Online-only files on Mac are enabled, and all files are already designated as such. The issue is that the new DB version uploaded all of the files (1TB), which is a concern.
Sorry, I do not understand your response. I would appreciate some more detail. Thank you.
