    I'm not sure how DB works but is it possible to 'unsync' your files in such a way that they ONLY live in the 'clowd' on the DB or Drive servers?

    Why would you want to do that? If it worked that way, then every time you wanted to work on a file, using one of your computers, you would have to go the DropBox web site and download the file first.

    The DropBox application takes care of that for you keeping the local files on your various computers up-to-date so the files are already where they need to be (on your computers) so you can work on them.

    If the files were ONLY on the DropBox server and you lost you Internet connection you could not access your files.

    As long as you have an Internet connection some of the time the DropBox application will upload/download files as needed whenever it can.

    In addition you have multiple copies of the files which is a good thing.
