When I opened Dropbox later to…

I don't have enough free space on my computer, how can I stop some files from syncing?
I really like the convenience of the dropbox app and I understand that to enjoy this feature my dropbox files must take room on my computer's storage as well.

Hours of lost work is not fun so I constantly save to avoid losing…
