How long does it take to switch a file from Local to Online-only?

Dropbox StaffHey dazdagen, thanks for your post and happy Monday!
Switching a file from local to online-only shouldn't take that long.
What's the sync status on the Dropbox app now? You can see that, if you hover your mouse over the Dropbox icon in your system tray/menu bar.
Can you also try restarting your computer to see if that helps?
Let me know what you find!

Hi there,
Thanks for your reply. It STILL says "Downloading the file"... And it's been five days nonstop!
Now this has taken more time than when I was uploading the file... At least before it said where it was at like "120 Gb left etc..." but now it doesn't say anything.
Restarting my computer?? Wouldn't that ruin the progress and start everything from scratch?
If you confirm that it won't, then I'll go ahead and try that right now!
Thanks for your helpHi,
I tried restarting my computer but it STILL doesn't change the status.
Still saying "Downloading the file" and it has been over 8 days now. Something is wrong I think...
I am SO over this. Dropbox has been giving me headache after headache these last couple days... I need to upload another file urgently and I can't because I don't have space on my laptop and I still can't get this file "Online-only" which would clear up 150 Go from my laptop... SO annoying!!!
