Hard drive full of system data on macOS, how can I change it?

Dropbox is eating up all my storage. I see that it's been solved on another thread-could someone help with how to free up my hard drive space?

    Hey Super22_CBUS, I hope you're doing well!
     

    Welcome to our Community too. Have you tried using either selective sync, or making your files available offline if that feature is available to you?

     

    If not give it a go, and let me know how it turns out. 

     

    Thanks!

      Hello! I've turned all files to online only. But, my files are still syncing and that might be why I can't access the dropbox cache folder... and I'm assuming my mac system data is what is transferring all the files?

        Hey Super22_CBUS, Hanks for the speedy reply! 

         

        When did you change your content to online-only and what is the app's current syncing status

         

        Also, when you say that your "Mac's system data is transferring all the files" would you mind clarifying that for me, please?
