You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

How to disable Smart Sync, really and truly?
Hi all, I know I'm not the first to ask this—Dropbox users have apparently been having problems with it for years now—and maybe there's an answer somewhere in the forum that I simply haven't found...
- Hi raffishtenant, let's see what we can find on this together.
If you don't want to use Smart Sync, all you'd need to do is change your default sync options for new content to "local" and recall any files that are now "online only."
For details on syncing online-only material and selecting the default setting for new content, you can check this Help Center.
Would you like to give this a go, and let me know how it goes?
Thanks!
FYI - in Windows the only 2 options are online only and available offline. Local is not an option.
