Upgrading a hard drive to a Solid State Drive comes at a cost, not just in dollars but also in storage space. If you use Dropbox (or similar cloud sharing service) like I do to deliver jobs, it eats up a lot of storage space. Once the job is on Dropbox I don’t want it stored on my computer as I already have them safely archived and backed up.
So what I’ve done is change Dropbox preferences so the Public folder is not mirrored to my computer:

To deliver jobs the workflow I use is:
![1. I drop them into the local Dropbox folder](https://www.photographer.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ssd_cloud-1.png)
![2. When Dropbox is synced I open the web interface by clicking on the globe icon](https://www.photographer.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ssd_cloud-2.png)
![3. From the website I move the job to the Public folder](https://www.photographer.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ssd_cloud-3.png)
![4. Finally in the Public folder and I copy the link for the client](https://www.photographer.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ssd_cloud-4.png)
Dropbox keeps the file in the Public folder online and removes it from my SSD drive.
