You are not eligible for Dropbox on File Provider at this time

Question or Issue
I have selective sync on. When I look at the Sync tab in Preference, it says "You are not eligible for Dropbox on File Provider at this time" under Dropbox Folder Updates. All of my synced files are defaulted to be online only and shows Zero bytes in Finder. There is no right click option that I can make them offline available.

Hey chernc - thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Can you please send us a screenshot of the options you get when you right click on your files in the Dropbox folder and another one of the Dropbox desktop app's status as shown in your menu bar?
Also, how many files are you syncing approximately at the moment on your computer?
Let us know more information and we'll take it from there.
