Running low on disk space? You don’t have to delete anything—you can switch files or folders to an online-only status.

That means:

  • The file is still stored in Hivenet’s cloud

  • You’ll see a placeholder on your device

  • The file downloads when you open it

Later, you can make it local again if you want offline access. You’re always in control.

This setup helps you keep your device lean without losing access to your full file library.
