Installed Dropbox on a new Mac and got "selective sync conflicts" on this and other linked computers
How do I fix the "Selective Sync Conflict" issue, which is now present on three computers: new Mac mini, 2021 MacBook Pro and 2017 iMac?
Two days ago, I installed dropbox on new Mac mini, with the...
1. Upper menu shows dropbox 225.4.4896.
2. On my new Mac mini, Sequoia 15.5, all the files showed a gray cloud outline with a down arrow. Yesterday, when I clicked the cloud with down arrow, the icon disappeared, and there was NO ICON, but the subfolders appeared to have downloaded (no icons at all). Today, when I click the gray cloud outline with down arrow, the arrow disappears but the cloud outline remains. Expanding the folder shows subfolders with some gray outline clouds, some with arrows, other without.
3. I feel the situation is GETTING WORSE. I have nearl 400 Gb of contents. I have 100s of folders with 100s of subfolders and sub-sub folders. I cannot possibly click every single folder/file/document. This is a travesty.
4. MY GOAL = I want a downloaded copy of every file/folder on my mini.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi again, llw212!
Regarding the sync icons, I believe you'll find the info in this article very useful and explanatory.
As for making all your files and folders available offline, try right/control-clicking the Dropbox folder itself on the Mac Mini and choosing "make available offline"; this should download everything in the Dropbox folder.
I hope this helps!
