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

    Hi Bruno K 

     

    The article you linked to includes the minimum system requirements which states it works on Windows 8 and higher.

      Hello,

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

      Sorry

        Hi Bruno K1, and sorry to jump in. 

         

        Can you please provide a few more details on your request? 

         

        From what I understand as well, you’d like your files to only be available on www.dropbox.com and not synced to your local device, so that they don’t take up space from there. Is this right?
