Cannot see "Make available offline" option on Windows 11

Any help with this?
Walter I have dropbox installed in other devices and the "make available offline" and "make online-only" options show even if they library is not completely synced. In fact, my normal modus operandi is to install dropbox, and once all the folders and files are indexed, I simply turn everything to "make online-only" and then change to "make available offline" on an as need basis.
It doesn't make any sense to download 2TB of data I don't really need to have on my computer, to then make it all be available online only.
I do agree though that is weird that the sync icons don't show up, so perhaps both things are somehow related?

Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for the screenshots, jpugarte1_, and apologies for the delay.
The fact that your Dropbox app isn’t fully up to date may still affect some of the app’s features on your computer, even if the same thing doesn’t happen on different devices.
To tackle this first, can you clarify the current syncing status of your desktop app? Is it still stuck downloading more than 100k files?
Finally, I’d like you to right-click on your local Dropbox folder and go to its Properties; please send me one more screenshot of the next window you’ll see.
