Thumbnails not loading in Dropbox folder in Explorer

There apparently was a thread on this but it has been archived.   Photo thumbnails in Dropbox folder in Windows 11 Explorer do not load. What can I do to correct this?

    Hi rickw55, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Are your files marked as available offline, or are they online-only?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

    Sorry for the false alarm. This is a new computer, and I'd forgotten that the Dropbox default is online only. I have corrected it, and the thumbnails show.
