The desktop app offers various benefits such as real-time sync, however, there’s a drawback.

Click on the Dropbox icon.
Open the Preferences dialog.
Select Sync.
Choose Selective Sync.
Uncheck the folders you don’t want to sync locally to save space. Only select those you want to sync.
Click on Update.
