You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Why is my computer being filled with TMP files in the Dropbox program folder?
My Dropbox is set to online-only mode but why is it still generating temp files? My hard drive is almost full because of this.

Dropbox downloads files locally when you open or edit them and so will still need some storage. It also will not turn files locally that have been downloaded to Online only again automatically, you need to actively do that.
Hi Mark, thank you for your response. Does it mean that I need to manually clear the Dropbox cache every time I open and finish working on an online-only document?
