Dropbox StaffHi there, Melvin55, thanks for posting!

Thank you for your feedback Hannah.
Unfortunately I am still unable to locate the offline option. Can you provide a screenshot? Is this option perhaps only available for paid membership? Thanks again

Hey Melvin55, happy Monday!
Would you mind sending me a screenshot of the options you see on your end, as a first step?
Also, what is your computer's OS version and the Dropbox version you have installed?
You can see the latter, by hovering over your Dropbox icon.
Thank you! See pic below

Hey Melvin55, thanks for the screenshot!
It seems that you're trying to follow these steps on your account online, not locally within your Dropbox folder.
If you're using our Dropbox app on your Windows device, then you should be able to locate your content inside your Dropbox folder located in your File Explorer. You should follow the relevant steps in the content found there.
Want to give it a go?
