    <description>&lt;P&gt;I opened a thread recently because of the same thing ... yes it's annoying. It should be possible by deactivating the system extension manually somehow.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In the thread a person from dropbox explained to me how, didn't have time to check it till now because you gotta make sure to have all files stored when doing this ...&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi, is there any way to completly deactivate the smart sync "feature"?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Since that was introduced the dropbox service became really messy&lt;SPAN&gt;. I use selective sync a lot, now I have always I add new files activate for all new files to have them offline available. As I don't want to use smart sync at all and always have my files offline available I just want to deactivate that function completely but it seems that there is no setting in the settings.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;(And what is this annoying "Labels" thing, is it even a problem to get a forum running without annoying ppl with useless features?)&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1217325"&gt;@jxrgen&lt;/a&gt;, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;To disable this feature, first you need to make sure that all your files are switched to 'available offline'&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Once you've right clicked on the files and chosen 'make available offline' for everything, you should be able to disable the &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/sync/online-only-system-extension#:~:text=11%20and%20above.-,Uninstall%20the%20Dropbox%20system%20extension,-To%20uninstall%20the" target="_blank"&gt;Dropbox system extension&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Let me know how it goes!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;OK, so from what you are saying is that I have to deactivate the system extension to deactivate the smart sync.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1) Does that affect the dropbox sync in general?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2) Does that affect the selective sync?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2) Do I have to do this procedure on every single system I use my dropbox account?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1217325"&gt;@jxrgen&lt;/a&gt;, disabling the Dropbox system extension, will just no longer allow you to use the 'make online-only' feature.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Syncing will otherwise not be affected, nor will you need to do this every time you use Dropbox.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I want all files available offline on my computer all the time with out having to right click and click Make available offline. Doing this for every folder and file I add is ridiculous. &amp;nbsp; This is something new that files aren't stored locally by default. &amp;nbsp;I wish I never did this recent update.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I deactivated the system extension in the online mask but it did not change anything.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;... at least on my macOS Ventura 13.1&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1217325"&gt;@jxrgen&lt;/a&gt;, did the content switch to offline after this?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You also mentioned changing the system extension, in the online mask. Could you walk me through the steps you took, in order to achieve that, please?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I disabled the system extension like Hannah suggested with this manual:&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/sync/online-only-system-extension#:~:text=11%20and%20above.-,Uninstall%20the%20Dropbox%20system%20extension,-To%20uninstall%20the" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Dropbox system extension&lt;/A&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;However, as this system extension is not necessarry for current macOS systems anyway I doubt that this will deactivate the smart sync on my Mac.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;And yes, if I right click and "make offline" it downloads the content. Just like I said, nothing changed.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I just realized when I add a new file shortly after the cloud icon beside the file name disappears and the file seems to be available in offline mode. &amp;nbsp;If this continues then my problem seems to be solved. I just had to choose make available offline the current files I have in dropbox for those to be available. &amp;nbsp; Hopefully they don't touch this again.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1217325"&gt;@jxrgen&lt;/a&gt;, the way the Dropbox for macOS app works, new files will indeed sync as online-only.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As a workaround, you can make your entire Dropbox folder available offline.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;that does not work because everytime i add a new folder it is set to only online by default ... that is acutally the essence of the problem&lt;/P&gt;</description>
