How can I make my files available offline on my computer?
Hi there - I have had my PC replaced and setup Dropbox on my new one. The files are visible but I would like to sync them for offline use. Can you please advise how to go about that as I am unable to find solution details. Thank you.

Do you get any Dropbox options when you right click on those files (with the X icons) nicoladonzelli?
If you do, does setting them to be online-only or available offline make any difference?
Thank you Walter
Yes sure, it makes a difference. However I don't want to set every single file, but I want all the DB content to be available offline, just like it was before I reset the computer.
The "Make on-line only" option is useless to me.

Hi from me too, nicoladonzelli! If you right click on the Dropbox folder directly, do you see the “Make available offline” option? If yes, please click there and all of your Dropbox files should be once again downloaded to your computer.
