You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Synchronization in offline mode in Windows is unstable.
I configured my PC client to work offline. And in the settings I chose WHAT FOLDERS I NEED! But at the same time, these folders DO NOT DOWNLOAD to my PC until I try to open them.
Dropbox didn't work like that before. Previously, he downloaded files IMMEDIATELY when I selected them in the settings. How can I make Dropbox DOWNLOAD the files I need without trying to open them?
Why does this folder weigh 536 kilobytes on disk if it weighs 198 megabytes in the cloud? Why is this folder not downloaded to the computer even though there is a checkmark in the Dropbox settings?
Why?- Megan

Hey K14M, let's jump right into this!
The first thing I'd like to clarify, is if we're talking about selective sync, or making files' status as online-only.
Also, in the second screenshot, it's not entirely clear to me which folder you're referring to. Can you specify?
When did this behavior start happening?
Let me know more, thanks!
In my first message I wrote "to work offline". Is that clearer?
