free up space on the hard disk
Hello,
Is it possible to free up space on the hard disk (so files saved only on DropBox) with Windows 8?
Thanks

Yes.
Hello,
I was mistaken. I edited the question. I am no longer talking about the case of selective synchronization.
Sorry

The same answer applies. If you're trying to remove folders from your local drive to save space, while keeping those folders in your Dropbox account online, you would use Selective Sync on those folders, and that still works for Windows 8.
If you have a paid account you can also mark files and folders as Online-only. This will also remove them from your local drive while leaving a placeholder there so you can still see and interact with the file as needed.
