Keep in mind, that the way you choose files to sync on one device, won't reflect on others. You can have different files as online-only, or available offline on each one of your devices.

I have the same issue that a lot of people here (constant Smart Sync redownloads), and in 2-3 days, I'll probably just leave and use another app. Too bad because Dropbox has always been reliable and user-friendly. But now it is not.
