Dropbox Community ModeratorHey Josh! No, you shouldnât have to do this every time, since youâve set your files to become available offline by default. This is more like a test to see how the desktop app will behave and to isolate the issue a bit more.
Now, please keep in mind that the app version youâre currently running is the beta one, which is experimental (246.3.3448). What I want you to do instead is switch to the stable one (244.4.6580) by turning off early releases here. After that, you can install the latest app version from this link (you donât need to uninstall the app first).
