    The Offline Files feature is only available on mobile clients. Since the regular Dropbox application syncs your files locally (to the Dropbox folder), there's no need for Offline Files (your files are already on your computer).

    Folders removed using Selective Sync are only accessible through the Dropbox website, which requires Internet connectivity.

Still I have not found any solution to my problem. I want to use Dropbox off line on my home lap top. I have disconnected my router and wifi. Then I have tried to start dropbox on my lap top (in off line), but I does not work. My home lap top wants the wifi connection via router.

So, anyone out there, who knows how to do?
