Can I keep files in my Dropbox account but remove them from my C drive?

I just noticed that one of our company users has run out of space on his C drive.
Upon checking , I found a HUGE amount of data is sync'd with the company's Dropbox account.

The user said he doesn't need these on his desktop computer, hence the question.

Can you please tell me the process.

Cheers

Thank you for your help.
You need to be rewarded with LOTS of pizza, chocolate -AND- ice-cream. 😁

Hey @CharltonWilson! Thanks for your post today.

In this case, I’d suggest using selective sync, since it’ll remove specific folders from the desktop app without affecting their copy on the Dropbox website. So, technically, they won’t be showing in the user’s local Dropbox folder, but only on www.dropbox.com.

Let me know if that helps or if you need something else.
