How can I find which folders have been unchecked via selective sync on my Mac desktop app?

I want to make sure that I'm syncing my entire Dropbox to my Mac.  Apparently I've unchecked folders in Selective Sync - but when I try to find out which one, they all appear to be checked.  ...

Apparently it's a false indicator. I have the same message on mine but I know for a fact that all folders are present on my local drive because I don't use Selective Sync on this computer.

If you see all folders checked, you're likely fine.

    Thanks, I'll double-check with the support team, the erroneous message is confusing!
