Pulling files back to "available offline"

Hi all,

 

I have a bunch of dropbox files which at some point were shifted to the cloud and deleted from this local computer.  I'd like to make them all available offline again.  If I mark the entire folder as "available offline", will they automatically download en masse?

 

Many thanks for any advice.

    Hi Tallis, welcome to our Community! 

     

    Yes, that should be the case. If you change the status of the entire folder, the files should also follow. Can you give it a go, and let me know more of the results?

     

    Thanks!

    Hi Megan,

     

    Thanks -- it looks like that did the trick!  Glad it was so simple.
