Set all folders to "make available offline" on macOS
In the new macOS FileProvider API version of Dropbox, is it possible to recursively set all folders to "make available offline"? If so, does this setting persist for newly added sub-folders? I've r...
Yes, marking a folder as available offline will make all subfolders available offline as well, in perpetuity.
Hi! Since the last major update I always have to download every file manually by clicking on the cloud symbol. This really slows down my work. I'd like to use dropbox as a normal folder system with everything automatically downloading all the time, just as it used to be. How can I achieve that?
Thanks,
Wolf

Hey wolfdrop, I assume you're referring to the new Dropbox for macOS update, right?
This is actually expected behavior with newly added files, but also, if the app detects that you're running low on hard drive space, it will also automatically switch your files to online-only.
You can see more info about this and other expected changes here.
If you want your entire Dropbox folder to be available offline, though, you can navigate to the Dropbox folder in ~/Library/CloudStorage, right-click, and choose "Make available offline".
