Dropbox won't show me the option to make content "available offline".

have installed Dropbox on two MacBooks. On the first one, I can download folders and make them available offline. However, this isn't working on this MacBook Air. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled Dropbox. Dropbox has full disk access on this laptop.

What is going wrong, and how can I resolve this?

    Hey mrjw, did you use these steps, when you previously installed the stable version of the app?

    Also, are your accounts (your team account and your personal one) paired with one another? Are you accessing both Dropbox folders from this particular computer?

    I am accessing both from the same computer, yes. I believe they are paired.
