Best way to stop my Dropbox desktop app from removing local files?

Since you’re using macOS Tahoe, then the system extension isn’t applicable to you indeed, as mentioned in the Help Center article Megan linked above.
If your sync preferences are set to make files available offline by default, as demonstrated here, then you should be all set.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi there, TomMunch let's jump right into this!
The best thing you can do is check each folder individually and make sure it syncs as available offline.
For any folders or files that are online-only inside your Dropbox folder you can always use these steps in order to change their syncing status.
While you're at it, please check the relevant Help Center article and ensure that the files that you add to the Dropbox folder on your computer aren't set to sync as online-only by default.
Keep in mind that the settings on each device might differ, so you'd need to apply the settings on the individual computers.
Want to give it a go, and let me know if you have any questions?
I'll be one post away!
