Hello K14M,
When you select a folder in Dropbox selective sync settings, it starts syncing to your computer as online-only. That means it doesnât fully download the files, it just creates placeholders for them that have the gray cloud icon, just like you experienced.

It also says âSelect folders that will be STORED on this computer.â STORED ! Do you know the meaning of this word?
