Hi there waltzoftimeâ and welcome to the Dropbox Community! đ
I am glad to see your issue is resolved, making specific folders available offline on macOS can definitely be a bit confusing at first, especially with the newer versions of the desktop app. Itâs great to hear things are working the way you need now, and thank you for coming back to share the update. It really helps others who may run into the same question!
By the way, Iâm Theresa đ©âđ», one of the community managers here at Dropbox HQ. Since youâre using offline files on your Mac, Iâd love to know how you use Dropbox in your day-to-day. Are you working with large projects, traveling often, or just making sure important files are always within reach? Iâm always curious how people fit Dropbox into their workflow.
Looking forward to hearing more,
