Dropbox (or any other syncing application for that matter) is the perfect solution for this. I have a requirement to edit many reasonably large garphic and video files remotely from one computer, for use on another computer in a fixed location. I appreciate this kind of use is clearly not how the powers that be at dropbox feel we should be using the service, so it's therefore not setup for that, but I would like to point out that there's nothing to stop or even warn an unsuspecting user from choosing their own dropbox location and going ahead with the setup and sync process. Please make sure your external hd is connected and click proceed" - effectively halting the sync process, leaving all files and account links in tact, and awaiting successful connection to the custom dropbox location before continuing on with sync? At the moment, dropbox rather inelligantly falls over the minute you turn on your laptop (external connected and everything logically in place) without question. Would it not be just as easy to implement a protocol that says "Woah! Your dropbox folder isn't where I am setup to find it. Officially, they have NO support of external drives. However, dropbox has terrible support for external hard drives. I have noted this in the past, and would be good if a dev manager was to pick up on it and improve dropbox's usability by incorporating some form of buffer link between the dropbox folder location and the application's rather eager decision that there is no folder therefore we must resync the entire lot.

However, dropbox has terrible support for external hard drives everytime the mac is shut down, all knowledge of dropbox folder path is lost, meaning that you then have to navigate to the dropox folder on the external hd, and then relink the account, thus having to go through the sync process from scratch each time. On a separate note, I have previously tried to solve this issue by getting myself a nice big TB external hard drive. Unfortunamtely for those of us with very limited (read: ridiculously small!) space it is going to be a continual problem. Anyone with hundreds of GBs of space on their computer would probably never even notice it.
I guess there is no plausible answer for this one. At some point over the next few days, I expect to be in the middle of my workflow before my HD space begins depleting rapidly to Zero bytes for now logical reason.

So far I have the expected amount of HD space free 13.5GB. I've just reinstalled and finished syncing as before. Just for testing purposes, I unlinked my account, uninstalled dropbox and regained my 16GB. dropbox folder within the root of my Home directory (HD > Users) that has a file named "instance 3" and is a further 3GB in size.

I'm not sure how to find out exactly where any other space may be taken.
Not only that, but when my computer HD goes down to 0bytes of space, I can't get anything done at all. This is incredibly unproductive as I seem to be spending most of my time at work configuring dropbox. So why does dropbox keep stealing my available space? Note: this situation doesn't happen if dropbox is not installed. I have tried and checked and tried and checked, and I am only syncing the folder I require. If I leave it and get on with something else, I find that my HD space begins to gradually and erratically creep back up again.
I start again, and it just keeps happening. If I uninstall dropbox, I get my 16GB back. However, over the course of a few days I suddenly begin to get messages warning me that my HD space is running low, until eventually the messages turn to "your hard drive is full". Having done this, I now have 13.5GB available.

With 16GB of space available, I download and install dropbox, then proceed to sync the one and only folder I wish to sync, which is 2.5GB large. That is, we are all connected to the same account but only sync our one personal folder. I am using shared dropbox within a company. I have a little macbook with minimal HD space, hence why dropbox is very handy for me. I have a major problem with disk space, and I just can't seem to find an answer to the problem.
