How do you disable Smart Sync on the account?

I have my local installation on Monterrey stuck in Smart Sync, even though I disable Smart Sync prior to full uninstall on my M1 Air.   Some folders are still being displayed with Cloud icon

Hi,

 

I am using Dropbox v166.2.551 on MacOS 13.1 (22C65). I have turned off "Dropbox system extension" and "Online-only files on Mac" on the website. BUT, still, I noticed that recently there are files appeared to be online-only. I would like to continue using Selective Sync to manage my projects.

 

I am wondering if there is a way to permanently disable online-only. Thank you!

 

Best,
