Hi Aaron J.1, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

What OS version are you running on that machine?
Keep me posted!

I upgraded recently to Windows 11, and I can no longer find any option to make a file or folder available offline. I've been using Dropbox for over a decade. I NEED to get access to these files. What is going on?

If not, I’d like you to check your system tray and let me know if a small Dropbox icon appears there and what its syncing status and app version are.
