Files Not Downloading With Double Click

Hi there. I am looking at a dropbox guide. It says 'To access a file that is stored with Smart Sync, team members can just double-click it and Dropbox quickly downloads and opens it on their computer. '

 

However, from the dropbox finder window, I need to right click on change smart sync from online only to local to open a file. I'm using a Mac. How can I get it so all I need to do is double click on the file to download it?

Download
Mac
