    Hard drive space shortage -- due to Dropbox?


    I'm getting messages that my hard drive is full. However 34.9 GB seems to be in a folder \Users\...\Dropbox. I thought Dropbox was in the cloud. Is this really space used on my local C drive? What, if anything, can/should I do to free up space?

    :)
