Dropbox Community ModeratorHi janicetaylor, are you able to right right a file or folder in the Dropbox folder, to see if the Dropbox context menu items appear there?

Hey janicetaylor, let me also jump in here!
I'm thinking that instead of clicking directly on your entire Dropbox folder, you could maybe access the folder, then select all of your items using Command-A and see if you can them make the folders available-offline.
Can you give it a go?
That sounded promising, but unfortunately it didn't make any files or folders available offline.
Update: That action may have triggered a delayed response as it looks like files are syncing and downloading. It started out at over 127,000 files and is decreasing, now at just over 116,000 files. I will report back when the syncing/downloading is complete.
Thank you.
