Smart Sync is how users access content from their desktop without taking up hard drive space. Selective Sync is how users pick which files are synced. This way they can prevent different files and folders from taking up hard drive space. Think of Selective Sync more as a way to pick which files are exclusively on your Dropbox rather than your PC.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"497\" height=\"516\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F09\u002F19193814\u002Fdropbox-smart-sync.png\" alt=\"A screenshot of Dropbox.\" class=\"wp-image-34009\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F09\u002F19193814\u002Fdropbox-smart-sync.png 497w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F09\u002F19193814\u002Fdropbox-smart-sync-433x450.png 433w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Selective Sync is similar to Smart Sync only in name.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-3--when-should-you-use-smart-sync\">When should you use Smart Sync?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consider Smart Sync when you have a large amount of files stored in your Dropbox. Furthermore, Smart Sync is perfect for you if a lot of users share files with you. The convenience of being able to see and access these files without storing them on your hard drive is immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another reason to use Smart Sync is if you have limited hard drive space on your PC. One of the biggest reasons people use Dropbox in the first place is to store files without sacrificing hard drive space.
