    Hi all, thanks for the reports!

     

    I just wanted to mention that this should be resolved now, but please let us know if you're still having issues with this after rebooting your computer and/or restarting the desktop app.

     

    Cheers!

Sorry to add on but I just started having the same issue.  Dropbox must have updated itself as suddenly i got a message that the admin (me) didn't set things to allow online only.  So i went into the console and turned that on and it said to install something.

 

I still dont see the option to put a file to Online Only -- not sure what to do?
