Online-only not working in Surface Pro 11 (Snapdragon version)

Recently I went back to Dropbox having read that it now works with Snapdragon Windows versions, but currently I have a significant issue. 

I cannot have any online-only file in my SP11, thus I cannot have all Dropbox files in my device. 

I have this in the main DP screen:

Then I go to "Manage hard disk space", select folders and make online-only. In less than a second I get the message they are online-only, but they aren't. 

 

Any idea how to solve this? Thanks in advance.

    I have exactly the same issue on my surface pro 11 (snapdragon) : "Make online-only" feature is missing

    No issue on my other laptop (Lenovo AMD Ryzen 7)

    Can someone help ?

    Well, after trying offline installer for ARM, x64, both gave this incredibly, brilliant, full of information tiny error screen:

    Then tried the Windows Store version and... voila! now it is synchronizing online only... However, after a message telling me that there is a limit of 500.000 files, and I must use selective sync. 

    In my SP11 that is not a significant issue, but suddenly, in my main Mac mini... I got the same message!!!!!! The account disconnected, I had to start over and now I cannot have all my files on my main computer!!!

    Is there any way to oversee this? Because if it is not, Dropbox is completely unusable to me, and I will ask for a full or prorated refund and completely remove the account.

      Hi rfog, I'm sorry to hear about the issues you've been running into.

      Can you confirm if you did SelSync and reduce the files?

      If not, this can cause issues with with performance. Aside from that, can you confirm if you are still having issues launching Dropbox on you Mac Mini? If so, I'd be happy to escalate this further and we can provide further support.
