This would be referring to the newer version of the Dropbox desktop application for Mac OS.

 

Are you able to mark entire folders as available offline when you right click the folder?

I'm having a ton of trouble with this as well. I cannot even open my AE file as it crashes immediately. Seems like dropbox does not have a solution since it doesn't seem they know how After Effects works and how it works with teams. We can't just make the files local to each of our computers when we're all pulling from the same elements. If there's a change it's a nightmare if everyone has local files. We need a solution to this. Dropbox, highly suggest you figure out how Adobe After Effects works since a lot of studios are using you for remote work.
