Can I upload files to cloud storage then delete the same files from my computer (so I free HD space)?
I really need help on this as I have no idea at all.
I need to free space on my computer. 15 years ago, I could manually upload files to a server, then delete the same files from my computer. when I needed them, I manually downloaded them. never had a problem.
I know this 15-year gap is quite weird but I now have no idea if I can do that with Apple's idrive, for example. Everytime I try to ask this, I get confused and insecure with the sync thing.
Is there a service to which I can upload files, then delete these files from my computer without deleting them from the service?
Thank you!
