There are several methods you can use to clear disk space or free up space on your computer, like opting to delete files from the recycle bin, choosing to clear duplicate or temporary files (for example, from your downloads folder) or performing a disk cleanup. Another efficient way to free up space on your computer’s hard drive is by storing files you don’t access often in the cloud. With Dropbox, you can move the files you’re not currently using to your dropbox.com account by making them available online-only. By making your files and folders ‘online-only’, you can free up disk space on your hard drive and save storage space on your computer. You can also use our selective sync feature to choose which folders sync and which are stored on your computer.
