How can I remove folders from my work computer without deleting them off my Dropbox account

How can I remove folders from my work computer without deleting them off my Dropbox account

I got a new work computer since my old one broke. On my old one I also downloaded Dropbox and had only my work related folders visible on that computer. Now it has put all my personal folders (online only) on my computer. I want to remove the personal files from this work computer without actually deleting the content on my Dropbox. I used to be able to do this, but can't seem to find how to do it now. 

 

Is this possible? I'd like to know how.

Hey @Els4, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!
 

It sounds like you're referring to the selective sync feature or the option to set your files to online only

 

Could you have a look and let me know if that's the case? 

 

Thanks!
