Hi anonymous, I'd be happy to help! 

 

When you say that your files in the Dropbox folder aren't available anymore, do you mean that they're not available offline? If you meant something different is happening, be sure to let me know.

 

Have you tried following these steps, in order to make your folders, and files available offline? 

 

As for the new icons for macOS, feel free to take a look into this Help Center article. 

 

Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!

is this a joke?! file is not available offline anymore, spent an hour trying to find a way to disable it and no luck.

 

So i had to come here and rant about how dissatisfied i am with this useless smart sync that you push down our throats Dropbox!!

i am using this since 10years + and always had great respect on how fluent this is made an i am always saving client preview files on Dropbox but i need to access them on my local desktop too! at least for a few hours.

when i finish the project i dont care, but in those hours i export jpegs as photographer, i want to be able to open the files again and compare without that annoying download icon like button.

if i wanted that i could have used iCloud that i am paying for already!

sooo crazy i lost so much time today
