Hi Megan,

So, I finally have everything syncing properly; that said, somehow, the default sync state for new files is set to online ONLY & that's not the preference that I want.

Remaining Issues:
1. The web Dropbox app is not letting me change the option to "Available Offline."
How can I change it?

2. Somewhere, it told me that not all of my files are selected to sync (I believe on my MacBook). However, all of the folders are checked.
- What do I do to resolve this, please?

It's quite amazing the amount of time it has taken me to figure this all out & I consider myself tech-savvy.  LOL

Looking forward to hearing back from you.
