Dropbox Community ModeratorHey Laura888, thanks for keeping us updated on the situation.
I completely understand your frustration over this and I've made sure to pass your feedback along to our team.
As for the situation, can you let us know where you stand at the moment? Did you make a choice about the Dropbox folder and did it work out okay?
Regarding your files switching to "online-only", if you'd like them to be downloaded and available on your computer, you'll need to select them, right-click on them and then choose the "make available offline" option.
I've basically abandoned that computer for now until I get some guidance. It's not usable if Dropbox is unusable since I rely on that for everything. I'm on my work computer, but I NEED to know how to avoid this on that computer if the update is going to come out of nowhere, require no consent, and give no warning.
Why would they switch from being on my computer to online only?? That doesn't make any sense, and it now makes a TON of work for me to have to go through and fix them all.
