Hi there summerdown - thanks for posting on our Community!
You should be able to adjust your sync settings through the app's preferences under the sync tab normally.
Let me know if that helps!

Hi Walter,
The sync tab does not seem to have a "sync all files" option. The choices in the tab are:
Selective sync (I clicked this and all folders were already ticked)
Dropbox folder update (I have not updated currently because I like picking where my folder is located)
Default sync state for new files (I have picked available offline - nothing changed because this is for "new" files, not current ones).
Dropbox folder location (currently set to a place I'm happy with).
Those are the only options I have in the sync tab. None of them seem to do what I want, which is to start syncing all files and make them all download to my computer.
