Dropbox keeps downloading files although new files are set to sync as online-only
I run my computers via both fibre-based internet as well as via limited cellular network. The problem always has been -- even though 'on-line only' is selected -- dropbox always downloads.

Hi Hannah,
I'm having the same issue right now, and I can confirm that there are no other third party applications looking at the new files that I created on another computer. And since the files are big, I'm experiencing the same trouble Ric is going through.

Dropbox StaffHi SunumOfisi, hope you don’t mind if I jump in.
Just to make sure I got it right, you add/create files on another computer and then, they sync locally on your current device, instead of online-only. Correct?
Can you send me a screenshot of your sync settings as they appear under the Sync tab of your app preferences (on the device that's having this issue)?
