Does making files online-only affect just that device?

Howdy, 

 

Using a teams dropbox account - one of our users has too many files stored locally. 

 

If that one person, on just their device were to make some of the folders online only, does that only affect that singular device?

 

Thanks!

    Hi Jacob Zinger, thanks for messaging the Community!

     

    This is correct, marking files as available offline or online-only will only affect that particular device for that user.

     

    If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
