Can I store files only online?

WINDOWS: Store Files Without Taking Up Space On Your Computer

For Mac, see below.

 

You can store Briefcase files as online files, therefore you don't use up space on your local hard drive. This means that the file content will not be stored locally but can be downloaded from the server to your computer at any time.

Online files have a small file size (e.g. 0KB or 1KB) and have a .ld file extension. 

If you don't want files to be cached on your local drive, you can simply:


1. Click on the Livedrive icon

2. Select Open Briefcase Folder

3. Select the file you wish to store online, and right click the file

4. Then select Livedrive, and click Do not keep a copy on this computer

 

Automatically Store Online

You can also change your Livedrive Briefcase settings so that you don't automatically download any files that you've added to Livedrive from another computer.

To do this:

1. Open the Control Centre

2. Select Settings

3. Click on Advanced and select Briefcase 

4. Select Just store the files in the cloud

Any files now added to your briefcase will be stored as an online file.
