I did this and it worked but not for all files. I can't get several files offline? I choose 'make it available offline' but this didn't work, I keep on seeing the blue icon instead of the green icon. In Finder it says it has 0 bytes (which is correct because it is in the dropbox cloud), but even clicking on it doesn't download it. I checked it online and I can open it in the browser, so whats wrong with these files?
