Hi waltzoftime, thanks for messaging today!
You can mark a folder as available offline by right clicking it and choosing that option, so all files within that folder would download to your machine.
If you need any further assistance, please let me know!

Community ManagerHi there waltzoftime and welcome to the Dropbox Community! 😊
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. It’s 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, I’m Theresa 👩💻, one of the community managers here at Dropbox HQ. Since you’re using offline files on your Mac, I’d 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? I’m always curious how people fit Dropbox into their workflow.
Looking forward to hearing more,
