Is it possible to have the directory of files visible locally, without downloading them?
I have a new computer and want all my Dropbox files online only (10TB). Is there a way to have the directory of files visible locally without downloading all files? My old desktop was set up to show all the online-only files so if I needed them I could download easily.
I could just sync everything and then manually set the folders to online only but this seems like a lot of work just to get a local directory.

When installing Dropbox just tell it to set up and installed using the 'Online Only' option - then it wont download everything but will create the folder structure for you instead.
thanks for the response. That is how I set it up but it didn't create the folder structure. Possibly user error . . .
