How to stop offloading my files?

[betazero]

When I click selective sync and then pick certain directories...I WANT MY FILES. I don't want to have to click on the little cloud all the time.....Please tell me how to always download what I select to sync. I have plenty of room on my drive. It is causing problems when it has to download missing files while I am working...What a horrible "Feature"....

My files are already on my computer where I need them. If I upgrade to the latest MacOS version of dropbox I don't need to download 3TB to a new location. I need them all offline as I don't always have internet access while travelling.

Oh no you still selective sync but the pick all offline only applies to the selected folders you want.

It works the same way it always has but they hid the setting in the right click on the Dropbox icon menu. Not sure why….
