Ah! Same kind of user (paying customer for years) and same issues (too much space on my Dropbox, not enough on my drive).
My Macbook Air is the only computer I use, both at home and at work. Its SSD is 60 GB. Last month, Dropbox upgraded my account (for free) up to 1 TB.
Selective Sync? It's not optimal. We use several shared folders at work. Some of them become rapidly heavy without me noticing, unless I sense my laptop slowing down and find the culprit folder (with Diskwave) and unselect it from my sync. Plus: any (non-empty) shared folder you join will automatically sync on all your devices. It should be opt-in, not opt-out.
Offloading massive files? I use the (very good) web interface. It's a two-step process though: upload via the browser, and then delete your file. It's usually a one-off event, but is not what Dropbox is usually about: being seamless. Remember Doug's pitch to YC? The level of abstraction where you just hit "Save" and you're done? That's what's still missing with one-way transfers to the cloud.
