How do I stop Dropbox downloading all my files to every connected device?
How do I stop Dropbox from downloading all my files to every device? I have a pid account. I only want certain files downloaded on certain devices. Now every time upload video files to my iPad (which has plenty of storage left), and then go back to my Macbook Air, I automatically get all those files on it and then my hard drive is full!
Hey kvournas, You can use the Selective sync feature to select only the folders you want to sync locally. Click the Dropbox icon in your Mac menubar > click the gear icon > choose preferences.
Next go to Sync tab, and click Folders to sync.
Uncheck the folders that you do not want to sync.
