Smart Sync

Available to Business users who opt into early access

Smart Sync will allow users to free up hard disk space and revolutionize the way content is stored and recalled. Smart Sync will not replace Selective Sync but instead will run in parallel to it, giving similar end results with dramatically increased functionality.

How does it work?

You can right click on a file or folder and choose to remove the local copy by selecting “ Online-only”.

Who can use it?

To access Smart Sync a Business team must be opted into Dropbox’s early access program. From here the team admin can then enable Smart Sync for all their members.
