I have tried to make my Box folder online only, as shown by the picture below. However, it's still taking space in my device. It doesn't change whether I tick "Online only" or "Make available offline only".

How do I resolve this? I want the files in this folder to only be available online, and not take up space in my machine.

Hi Sean, 

Welcome to Box Community and glad to assist! 

Note:

Box Drive deletes a cached file that is available offline if you log out of Box Drive.

To log out on Windows

  1. Navigate to the search menu by going to the system tray and clicking the Box icon.
      • Alternatively you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Shift + B.
  2. Click the gear icon, and from the list that displays click Log Out.

Hope it works!
