Lusil, this has been a problem for many people including myself for a long time now.
You all over at Dropbox have enough info from all the complaints. You know this is a problem
You have a feature that people are paying for that is not working.
Fix it, or just flat out tell people that Dropbox has made a consious business descision to no longer support this feature and stop wasting people's time.

Don’t think anyone is listening anymore and the local files situation is only getting worse with the constant download of unchanged files.
I'm now testing OneDrive and so far the local copies seem to work as expected, but it is ealy days yet. The upload is as slow, if not slower, than DB (yes, that IS possible). I haven't tested synching or customer support, but I'll keep this forum informed of my findings.
If OD works as expected, I'll exercise the only right that seems to be left to DB customers: walk.
