Having a problem making Dropbox files online-only by default.

Any help I can get making my dropbox files, on-line only would be appreciated. I just cant seem to get it done. Any thoughts?

    Hi Powderman, let's jump right into this! 

     

    Would you mind clarifying the OS you're using on your end, along with the steps you've tried so far? 

     

    I'm asking just to have an idea of what you've tried. Do you not see the option when following these steps? 

     

    Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!

        Hey Powderman! Sorry for jumping in. 

         

        Are you just missing the option to make your files online-only, when right clicking on them? Or are you missing all Dropbox options, in general, like the ability to share the files etc? Feel free to send me a screenshot of what you’re seeing, too.

         

        Besides that, what’s the syncing status of your Dropbox app, and its app version?
