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.

Can I add Dropbox folders in Finder Sidebar in macOS Somona 14.3?
Hi community, does adding folders from my dropbox to the Finder Sidebar cause problems nowadays? I am afraid to try and I am asking because two or three years ago I had the following problem: folders from my dropbox, which I added to the Finder Sidebar were working correctly (synching, etc.) for a few hours or days and then, without warning or notification about it, they were just copies of the dropbox folders, located deep in my macOS Library and not inside the dropboy anymore, which caused that they didn't synch anymore. So basically I got duplicate folders, one online in the dropbox synching and one offline on my Mac's internal drive in the Library not synching (the one in the Sidebar). It took me a while to find out and the damage was already done (a lot of duplicates and some lost data because of no synching, etc.). I also got the feeling that dropbox in general behaved a little weird after that, especially in regards to "online-only" und "make available offline" behavious. But a few months later there was a big change in the way Dropbox was integrated into macOS, the location of the main Dropbox folder changed from Documents to Locations – and after that the weird bahaviour stopped. But I never tried again to add folders from my Dropbox to the Finder Sidebar, because I was too afraid it would mess things up again. But now I really need that again for my workflow, but still I'm afraid to try. Sorry for the maybe too detailed description. Thanks in advance.Don't see online only option in the context menu
We have a paid subscription for Dropbox Family, and for any folder (inside or outside the Family Room), do not see an option for either a file or folder to make Online Only. Running Windows 10. Screenshot of my right click on a folder: I've also gone online as well, and don't have that option. FYI, it's not a payment issue - I can see the option for mobile, just not the desktop version.
What is Dropbox Doing in the Background with All That Data?
So, I've noticed that Dropbox is continually sending between 6 and 8 Mb/s (or 0.6 to 1 MB/s), not an inconsiderable amount of data, around the clock. It certainly adds up. (Not receiving very much back.) I find this curious, since I haven't uploaded anything new today on any device, and there's no recent activity shown in the app. So what is it doing? Is it spying on me in some way? I haven't configured any kind of synchronization on this computer. Not photos, not backups, not documents, nothing. All it has is whatever I put in the Dropbox folder.
There is no Offine and Online icon next to file. I'm using Macbook Air M1 | macOS Ventura 13.4
