Dropbox StaffHi Andy S.6, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Could you attach a screenshot showing the sync icon you're getting on the files and folders in your Dropbox folder on your machine?
This will help me to assist further!
Hi Jay, thanks for coming back with this info. It seems I was wrong about the icon being related to shared files as other replies have pointed out. I've also found these green and white backgrounds on files I havn't shared. They are not at all intuitive.
What I want is that Dropbox works the way it used to when I became a subscriber ten years ago.
- I want ALL of my files to be available offline.
- AND I want ALL of my file to be stored on my Dropbox space so all my other PCs that are connected to my account also have ALL of my files.
- I don't want any of them to be available only offline becase that's no use to me if I need to access a file when I don't have Internet access.
How do I do that?

Nothing has changed with how Dropbox handles your files when they're stored on your device. If they aren't already, just mark all of your files as Available Offline and everything will operate as it always has.

Regarding your comments, if you mark a file as offline, then it will be local on your machine, but also visible on the site since it would be synced.
Your third comment contradicts the first one, so I assume you meant for them to be online only?
Jay, do you know if Dropbox will be addressing the broader issue over on this thread, where the topic is gathering support?
