Thanks for posting this on our forum, RiCo67!

 

If you look at your system tray, do you see a small Dropbox icon close to your clock settings? If yes, I want you to click on it and clarify the syncing status it reports.

 

In case the Dropbox icon isn’t showing at all, I’d like you to go to your Start menu instead and relaunch the Dropbox app from your Programs.

 

Let me know how that goes.

Thanks Nancy and sorry if I've been so late..

Yes the tray icon is present and it shows "files are updated"

Everything works fine, I just can't find the context menu to choose what files/folders I want to have offline or online only

    Hi RiCo67, could you attach a screenshot showing then context menu when you right a file or folder in your Dropbox folder directly (and not via a Quick Access menu)?

        Thanks, could you try reinstalling the desktop app, without uninstalling it first, using this link?
