Dropbox Beta: Files show both icons simultaneously - green circle and cloud-arrow - but are offline
I just moved to Dropbox beta for Mac (the latest version). After the folder successfully showed up in my new location, all files and folders were set to "offline only" - very annoying, but I guess that's the default behavior now. I had hoped it would recreate the previous state of what's offline and what's online. I am on a fast fiber optics internet connection and my computer was on overnight. Everything stayed offline. I now have to manually click on every single little cloud icon...
But there is something else that's clearly a bug. Everything that was previously set to "available offline" (which was the majority of my files), now has the green downloaded circle (including the correct file size) and the "offline-only" cloud icon. When I click on any of these files, they are in fact offline and have to be downloaded.
Am I alone with this strange behavior?
Thanks. - Markus

It seems that the only possible way for solving it is changing the location back to the Documents' folder, after signing out and in again... That File Provider was making all that mess.
I'm waiting for it to sync (3TB) and will come back with news.
Thanks.
