Re: Not seeing "make online only" upon right-click on windows

I've just upgraded my plan to Dropbox for Business and on my Windows 10 laptops the Explorer options to selectively sync specific files has disappeared. This isn't a problem on my Windows 11 laptop. I've tried to apply the previously posted solution to amend the registry to make the options to "Make Available Offline" and "Online Only" reappear, but to no avail.

 

Previous article is here: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Create-upload-and-share/I-can-t-see-any-sync-icons-next-to-my-files-in-my-Dropbox-folder/m-p/366686https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Create-upload-and-share/I-can-t-see-any-sync-icons-next-to-my-files-in-my-Dropbox-folder/m-p/366686

 

Once I download a file, I cannot change that, unless I choose to not sync the entire folder. 

 

Is there another workaround for this?
