What does starred folder mean?
What does starred folder mean? Is it only for marking purpose, or does it automatically makes a folder local?
Hmm, if they don't appear in the All files page, then they are not actually saved to your account, I'm afraid.
Could they be files you opened from links your wife might have shared with you?
Can you search for them through the search bar at the top right corner of the page, to see if you can locate them?

Hi xelnx, I hope you're well today!
Starring a file or folder allows you easy access to your favourite files. These starred items will show in your "Starred" tabs across the Dropbox platforms.
You can check out more info about this from here.
It wouldn't make a file available locally on your device. Are you looking to make certain items available locally on your device?
If so, please let me know a little more info on this, such as which platform you're using and the OS version where applicable. Eg. the website, desktop app or mobile app.
Let me know if this helps!
