Hi Lusil,
Somehow the option appeared when I was checking if the folder was shared. So now the dropdown did have the "don't sync to dropbox.com" option present. Not a clue what caused the change. Maybe a reboot? But thanks for the reply otherwise I wouldn't have taken this action:)

Rogier

Hey there Pindarodge, let's see what we can find.
I could only recreate the same options that you see when selecting a shared folder.

Looking forward to hearing back from you!
