I cannot see the Make online-only feature by simply right clicking on the respective folders/files.

To manually change files to online-only in the Dropbox desktop app:

Windows

  1. Open File Explorer.
  2. Open the Dropbox folder.
  3. Navigate to the file or folder you’d like to set to online-only.
  4. Right-click the file or folder.
  5. Click Make online-only

I also tried "managing hard drive space" and then making the respective folder in available online mode, its also not working. 

Please guide.
