Selective Sync
I would like to use selective sync. However I can not find the sync options in my preference roll down menu. How can I proceed? Tx for your reply, Nicky

You need to find Dropbox on your status bar (i.e. the bit near the clock of your computer), then click on the icon top right:
In that menu click on Preferences and then 'Sync'

I have the same issues, I'm going to look on YouTube to see if I am missing the obvious! This is so frustrating as this should be so easy.

You are using the website to do this which is incorrect. The options that you have shown above are from the website.
You need to do this on your COMPUTER on the DROPBOX SOFTWARE.
