The Offline Files feature is only available on mobile clients. Since the regular Dropbox application syncs your files locally (to the Dropbox folder), there's no need for Offline Files (your files are already on your computer).

Now I think I ' ve found out the differens between using the dropbox-app from MS Win Store and the dropbox-app from Dropbox home page. And how it works in my computer - online or offline. I was a little confused because layouts were different between using the folder stored in my computer and the online version with "your layout" which I have learned to use from the beginning. After some trial and error, I think I now got it right.
