    You still have the options and they're visible in your screenshot. Dropbox has just renamed them in the more recent versions. Local is now shown as Make available offline and Online-only is now shown as Make online-only. They're no longer listed in a separate sub-menu.

Hey Lynn Bennett, thanks for the nudge here!

 

Can you please clarify what you'd like to do exactly?

 

The options to make a file online-only or available offline, should be there when you right-click on a file in your Dropbox folder.

 

Is that not what you see on your end?

DropBox made me upgrade in order for the smart sync to work. I really enjoyed and will miss the free version. LOL!
