    The only time referral space is removed from an account is when it has been determined that a referral had been earned through illegitimate means. When that happens, all referral space is usually removed.

     

    The only way to know the actual cause is to contact Support.

Hi,

 

Is there away to configure dropbox folders such that the content is no longer stored on my local drive but only in the dropbox cloud?

 

thanks,

Shainal

Hello Shainal,

You can use Selective Sync, a feature of the Dropbox desktop application that allows you to select only the folders you want to be synced to your computer.

You can selectively sync the content in your hard drive and then once you mark the folders you don;t want to sync back to the web, you can safely delete them from your PC.

Alternatively you can uninstall the Dropbox app and use the web upload feature to manually upload your files via the web.

Thanks!
