I saved some folders to online-only but now I can't see them on my computer
Hello,
I somehow saved some folders to online only... but I cannot see them on my desktop app.
When I click on them in dropbox online it doesn't give me the option to put them back on my desktop...
I thank you as it was resolved. I didn't know I had to wait a while.
But I am still lost as to how to make my few folders that are online only that I cannot see on my desktop. I have right clicked on them but there isn't a sync option or a make available off line option.

Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for the additional information vacmmc - much appreciated.
May I ask if you're running the desktop app at the moment?
If so, could you take a look at your menu bar/system tray and let us know the app's status and version?
the task manager says I am using 38% of my disc. But my C drive says it is using almost all of the disc.

Could you send us a screenshot of where you're spotting the discrepancy so that we can have a visual too vacmmc ?
Also, did you check the app's status in your system tray to see if it's still syncing or 'up to date'?

If they're online-only, you should be seeing them in your Dropbox folder's structure from where you'd be able to make them available offline by right clicking on them and choosing the relevant option vacmmc
On the other hand, if you're referring to folders that have been selectively un-synced, you'd need to change the sync settings through the selective sync option in the sync tab in the app's preferences.
