Request: All files available offline by default
Moving the Mac to the new File Provider is great - very happy this is finally happening and support on the new M1 is much better. Kudos!
Feature request: Really miss the feature to have Dropbox...
Hi everyone, and thanks for your patience.
We're re-launching the option to choose the default status of synced files in the Dropbox desktop application (in the Preferences > Sync tab) for users of the newer File Provider version.
It should be available to you shortly. If you haven't received it yet, make sure to update your desktop app, and let us know if you have any questions!
... and one thing to ask for clarification: how would I click on the Dropbox root? It is no longer a folder in Finder, but only a "location" in the sidebar. Right-clicking that location doesn't offer the Dropbox context menus. So I can right-click on folders within Dropbox, but not the "root" folder and described in this suggestion. Am I missing how to do this? Thank you!
Also having this issue, my files don't seem to be staying offline even if I go through the manual right-click "Make available offline".
Tim, in the Finder menu if you click Go To Folder or CMD+Shift+G and enter `~/Library/CloudStorage` that should bring you to the correct folder to make all of your Dropbox available offline. I have found that even this isn't a permanent fix and sometimes after adding new files or a computer restart I need to make files available offline yet again.
