I have two new computers and want to have online only files, but have all the folders and structure on my computer. Clicked off of "all sync" because I did not want the files on, but I can't see any files on the computer.
I want to see the files, but have them stored in the cloud. I have done this before but cannot remember the clicks.
For the folders/files you want to be visible on computer but not take any space, you can mark them online only using one of the options below:
1. Right click on that folder, and choose `Make Online-Only`
2. Click on Dropbox tray icon, then click on your profile image, choose `Manage Hard drive space` and there you can bulk choose which folders you want to mark online-only.
