Offline sync option missing.

Where is the option to have Dropbox make all files available offline? It used to be in the Sync tap of preferences...   MacOS 13.2.1

I can right click and set files and folders to "make available offline". However, I want to have my entire Dropbox sync locally to my computer. I've done this in the past with an option under the sync tab but now that option is missing.

If you want to sync locally the entire Dropbox folder, you can right click on it directly and select the option to make everything available offline. 

 

This way, the app should download everything that’s located within your Dropbox folder.
