Sync individual folders/files to computer
How about if you could search for a file in the dropbox app, and if you rightclicked it there was a sync offline alternative?

You can already do this: https://help.dropbox.com/sync/access-files-offline
Yes, but for that to work it seems I first have to everything everything once before choosing what to keep offline.

You can set offline only to be default within the Preferences menu.
I don't have the hard drive space to use offline as default.

Then you should be able to start with Dropbox syncing your files as Online-only (all files shown on your computer but not taking any space), and you would right-click a file you wanted offline and select Available offline. Dropbox would then sync that file so it's stored locally and available offline.
- It works sometimes, but one of my devices doesnt show half of my Dropbox. I'm gonna try and make it show everything online too. Thx.
