All my Dropbox files have suddenly become online-only and I get an error 0x800701AA on Windows.

Hi! This happened all of a sudden and I noticed the preferences had changed to cloud only. I changed it back but today I was cloud only again? No updates lately.

I see, thanks for clarifying that! Did you also try reinstalling the Dropbox app and there’s still no option to make your files available offline?

    I reinstalled the app but it seems Sync switch to online-only without my activation. I have to have References open, then nothing happens. Today the external drive where Dropbox is located disconnected without my knowledge. Now it's indexing 225,317 files..... I'm not  happy with what is going on!

      Can you please right-click on the local Dropbox folder, as the next step, go to its Properties and send me a screenshot of the next window you’ll see?
