Hi there!
I had to reinstall Dropbox on my home computer and now my vault folder and all the files have little clouds next to them and I can't open them from my Dropbox Folder on my computer. I have to login through my browser to access the files in my vault. How do I set it up so that the files are accessible through my computers? Thank- KC
Sorry to jump in here, @KC805!
If you right click on your vault and choose to "make (it) available offline", are you then able to open your files?

Hey @KC805, welcome to the Community!
Do you mind sending over a screenshot of the icons you mention, so that I can have a visual?
Also, what’s the exact OS version of the computer on which you’re having this issue?
Keep me posted.
