    <description>&lt;P&gt;I simply do not get it.&amp;nbsp; What is the difference in files that are marked with solid green "Available offline"&amp;nbsp; and files marked with outline green "available"&amp;nbsp; They are both available off line and are synchronised. If you right click on a file and select make available off line, then it becomes solid green, not outline green, why?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;why is this feature not available in 2024 for Linux users?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/775561"&gt;@GTATech&lt;/a&gt;, That was (and is) always available for Linux too. There was only one exception several years ago - by mistake Selective sync was removed for Linux, but in that case the mistake was corrected fast after signaling (on the next release). I'm not aware of any other such case. The current one (192.4.4605) works with Selective sync too.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
