How can I save hard drive space, if I can't use the online only option?

How can I use Dropbox to save hard disc space? I have a contract which gives me 2tbts of whi9ch little is used. I am unable to make files 'Online only' because I am not given the option to do so at the right click stage. I gather this is because of the Windows icon overlay system which requires me to enter the registry to fix. I do not have admin permission to change the registry. Any advice will be welcomed. Thanks in anticipation. TH
