    <title>topic local vs online only - how to tell programatically? in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;I have an app that allows users to store files in Dropbox.&amp;nbsp; If the local directory is known, I look for the content there, else I use the API.&amp;nbsp; With the advent of local vs online-only, files that I linked as local are no longer opening since they have not yet or are not going to be local.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;How can I tell if a file is local or just has a placeholder locally?&amp;nbsp; Is there a better way to handle this situation?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to programmatically check the online only status of any particular file or folder, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/sync-uploads/smart-sync" target="_self"&gt;Online-only files should be automatically downloaded when opened&lt;/A&gt; though, except &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/desktop/macos-12-monterey-support" target="_self"&gt;currently on macOS 12.3&lt;/A&gt;. That's not part of the API itself though, so if that's not working as expected for you, you may want to open a thread in "&lt;A href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Installs-integrations/ct-p/installs-integrations" target="_self"&gt;Installs &amp;amp; integrations&lt;/A&gt;" or &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/support/" target="_self"&gt;contact support&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
