Making all of my files available offline on Mac OS 15.4
Hi, many (about 50% of 22GB) of my files and folders are displayed with the cloud icon, even I have the settings to always offline.
When I click on the cloud icon for these files a I get error:
The operation couldn’t be completed. Operation not permitted
When I try to opne the file, the first time the same error appears, when I try the second time, the file is opened fine and the cloud icon disappear.
How do I fix this? I need to make sure all my files are offline on this Mac but I can't manually open 20k+ files
No sync issues:
Thanks in advance

No, all of the folders fail. When I click the icon, it changes for about 10 - 20 seconds as sync initiated and than it fails with the error above:
I have not tried to move the files out - it is a very large number of them

Hey TomasVEUS - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community!
Are you able to select your whole Dropbox folder or any folders you see as online-only and right click on them to see if you get the option to make them available offline on your computer? Have you tried moving those files out of your Dropbox folder and back in again since you first noticed this?
Let us know more and we'll take it from there, Tomas.
