Request: All files available offline by default
Moving the Mac to the new File Provider is great - very happy this is finally happening and support on the new M1 is much better. Kudos!
Feature request: Really miss the feature to have Dropbox...

Hi everyone, and thanks for your patience.
We're re-launching the option to choose the default status of synced files in the Dropbox desktop application (in the Preferences > Sync tab) for users of the newer File Provider version.
It should be available to you shortly. If you haven't received it yet, make sure to update your desktop app, and let us know if you have any questions!

just resolved my issue by right clicking on the Dropbox folder (buried in user/Library/CloudStorage/DROPBOX) and scrolling to 'Make available offline' (as mentioned by pervious post).
Could NOT find this menu option anywhere else.

The "Make Available Offline" option as described by chhawkes does seems to bring back functionality as it used to be. I hope it is persistent with upgrades. I made that change a couple of days ago, it has persisted through a computer restart as well as the MacOS update to Ventura 13.1.
I was able to create a document on my iPhone via the "Scan" function, and within seconds the document appeared in my root Dropbox folder as it always had in the past.
