I've installed the Dropbox for Windows update and now I can't make my files offline anymore.
I just got "upgraded" to the newest version of the Dropbox client for Windows, v213.3.4480.
After it did the upgrade, it told me that there was some "new update" for Windows, so (perhaps stupidly) ...

I don't remember what my sync status was at the moment. In order to protect the contents of my Dropbox, I uninstalled and backed everything up to my NAS. I don't take chances.
I've since re-installed Dropbox 212.4.5767 as downloaded from the Dropbox website (that was the version served to me when I went to download the offline installation executable), and it is currently re-establishing its place on my hard drive. I deleted the entire Dropbox folder after backing it up because, at first, the newly-reinstalled Dropbox app was telling me there wasn't enough space to sync (that's because all the stuff was still there and it wasn't recognizing that I just wanted to re-establish the link).
So, I deleted the Dropbox folder entirely, did a disk cleanup and defrag, and then, I reinstalled Dropbox 212.4.5767 on my computer, and this time, it said that my Dropbox is big, but there won't be a problem with everything "living" on my computer this time around.
It's currently syncing.
Anyhow, again, I'd attach screenshots, but that Camera icon you're showing me in the toolbar? It doesn't exist on my side. There's nothing between the "hyperlink" and "emoji" items in my editing toolbar. The forum is also not allowing "attachments," although the icon for that does show in my edit toolbar.
Maybe I'll try to reply again in another browser to see if something is goofed up here.
