Just got a new computer, running the latest Mac OS.
I installed the latest dropbox version and chose the folders I need to have locally on my computer.

Hi Dimitriu, it's absolutely clear.
However, as both Walter, and Hannah mentioned, if you have selectively synced the content, that would explain why you can't see them in your Dropbox folder anymore.

Dropbox StaffHi Dimitriu, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Are you referring to the selective sync feature? This prevents the folders from even appearing on your machine.
This will help me to assist further!
Hey Jey

Could you check the selective sync preferences using the steps in the previous article I provided to see if those folders are unchecked?
Hey,
Yes I understand but i dont want to download them, i just want to see them in the finder. If i do what you sent me, it will download

Hey Dimitriu, sorry to jump in here, but I just wanted to mention that selectively un-synced from your computer won't be visible in your Finder as they're not locally available to your computer's OS.
Is it possible that you were referring to online only files instead?
