Thanks for reaching out to us, Nick_S.

 

Are you trying to make all your files available offline or some of them?

 

If you want to make all of them, try to control-click on the Dropbox folder itself and choose to make it available offline to see if that helps.

 

Also, if you check the 'sync' tab in your Dropbox preferences, what is the location of your Dropbox folder?

 

Let me know and we'll go from there.

    Hannah Dropbox app won't make the selected files offline if I'm making the right-click and "make available offline". It starts to sync and stops after 5 sec. But this is a random case. I mean some files it could make offline (as I need) in the current session, but next time it could be not to do this if I made them online again some times before that. Dropbox app was working perfect for me all the last years (on Mohave, Big Sur, Catalina) before I started using Ventura. Something crazy is going, really. And also the app STILL WON'T show the folders/files sizes in Finder which are offline. You have promised some month ago that this will be fixed but still...nothing

     

    Dropbox folder is located in the right place (/Users/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox)

      Thanks for clarifying, Nick.

       

      Have you tried restarting both the Dropbox app and your computer, to see if that helps at all?
