Thanks for posting on our forum, StephG75!

To clarify, you’re no longer seeing the “Make online-only” option for your “Mes documents” folder, even if you right-click on it from the sidebar of your File Explorer, like you did on your old computer, correct?

Can you also tell me the current syncing status of your desktop app? Feel free to send me a screenshot of it, as well.

Let me know when you’re ready and we’ll go from there.
