Don't see 'sync now' option to prioritise which files sync first

Hi -X-ARCH & UnkleRukus!
Sorry to not have provided this information before but if you have a Dropbox Plus, Professional, or Business account, you can prioritize a file to sync ahead of others syncing with the Dropbox app on your computer.
Note: You can’t prioritize folders or package files at this time.
In case you'd like to log a feature request for a similar functionality for folders, the 'Share an Idea' section of our Community is the right place. Here's a direct link:

I hope this clears things up a tad and I'm always around if you have any more questions!

I pay for a personal (non-business) account, but do not have the "Sync Now" feature. I feel like this should be included with my paid account. (Dropbox: are you reading this?)

Hey there Sam_Buss - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Can you please forward me a screenshot of the options you get when you right click on a file that's still syncing (it will have the blue syncing icon on it) in order to have a better look?
Thanks!

Hi Guys... I'm having the same problem under mojave ... I cant "sync now" my files!
Any solution??

Hey there LABANA_Music,
Could you please provide us with more info on this so as to have a better understanding of what you're seeing? For example:
- Is the Dropbox desktop app running? Do you see the Dropbox icon next to your computer's clock?
- Could you also send us a screenshot (without any personal info) of what you see when you right-click on your files?
Any additional details would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!
