Hi Nancy and Megan,
Due to running out of time over the weekend I submitted the initial query, I wiped the drive and started over from scratch. I upgraded to Tahoe 26.2 and now Dropbox is doing as it should, showing the folders without downloading the contents unless I elect to have them reside locally.
I donât believe changing the OS factored in this but it may have. The biggest issue originally was that it downloaded files until it basically bricked the computer, it warned me when it had 2mb left on a 1TB SSD that had about 700GB open when it started to sync. When I tried unselecting the folders, in the past it had cleared that space quickly, on this occasion it didnât clear anything, and after several hours of not being able to do much, I elected to wipe it and start over.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHey there, steve64_64, let's jump right into this!
I'm going to need to gather a few more pieces of info and get closer into what is happening.
As a first step, could you clarify the app's current version that you're using? You can find the version, and syncing status by hovering your mouse over the little Dropbox icon in your menu bar next to your WiFi.
I'm thinking that you might be using a beta version which could cause inconsistencies, this is why I need this info before I proceed with the troubleshooting steps.
Also, is this a new installation by any chance?
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
