Moving folders · Moving specific folders
Should I move folders that live inside Dropbox, OneDrive or Google Drive's folder on my Mac?
Short answer: We recommend not. Cloud apps sync what they find in their folder, and replacing files with links can confuse them. To save space there, make those files online-only instead — they stay in the cloud and download when opened.
We recommend not. A cloud app watches its own folder and syncs what it finds there, and replacing synced files with links can confuse it — it may upload the links instead of the files, or decide the files were removed.
For files inside a cloud provider's folder, the better way to save space is to make them online-only, so they stay in the cloud and download when you open them. Storage Studio can do that for you as part of its clean-up options.
