Since youâre using macOS Tahoe, then the system extension isnât 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.

Ya, I had to go into subfolders and right-click and choose to make them available offline. Just clicking on the local Dropbox folder ata top level didn't do it. I still have folders showing the cloud icon even though all the files are on my computer and I have chosen for those folders to be available offline. There's definitely a glitch there somewhere.
The default sync setting comment was in reference to the "relevant Help Center "article that Megan linked to above. I don't see that at all in my preferences.
My laptop is on the current OS - Windows 11 21H2 (OS build 22000)
I'm trying to copy and paste screenshots here, but it's not taking my reply.
