Smart Sync also has an automatic setting that makes files and folders online-only, based on how you use them.Instead of completely removing files and folders, Smart Sync lets you make files and folders online-only so they’re still visible from your computer, even though they’re only stored in your Dropbox account online.Through the Smart Sync feature, you have greater control and can sync only the folders or files that you need by right-clicking, selecting Smart Sync, and then selecting 'Local'.You can choose which files to make online-only or let automatic Smart Sync choose for you.Smart Sync is a feature of the Dropbox desktop app that allows you to make files online-only so you can save hard drive space on your computer.This means that the files are ‘online-only.’ You can interact with these files as normal, but they take up no space on your computer. When using selective sync, and choosing to sync a folder that you had previously excluded on the desktop client, you may notice the files appearing with a grey cloud icon beside them.
Selective sync will prevent folders from being downloaded/available on the desktop and is good for users who have limited disk space.However, those files will no longer appear in the Dropbox folder on your computer (File Explorer/Finder) or the desktop app. Selective sync helps you save hard drive space by removing files from your hard drive so that they’re online-only.If you uncheck a folder, that folder and the files and folders inside it are removed from your hard drive and are only stored on the web (). If you check a folder, that folder and the files and folders inside it are saved to your hard drive.
