Show all files online-only, but not use up the 300,000 limit in the desktop app
Allow you to view locally (on your computer) the full tree view of files stored in the cloud, and therefore not limit the number of files that can be synchronized locally on a computer (currently at +/- 300,000). A level that you quickly reach when you have 15 or 20TB on your Dropbox. It is very restrictive to be forced to…
