    There is no Offline FIles tab. You go to Account, then Manage Offline Files. Also, when you're actually offline, there's a message at the top of your Files list that will take you to your offline files.

Hi Devman123, welcome to Dropbox Community!
 
By turning on the Available offline option you make a file available for offline viewing . When a file is available offline, you can access that file even when your phone isn't connected to Wi-Fi or data.
 
 
Let me know if you need any further information!
