Dropbox StaffHi THX1965 and georgecwbrown! I hope you’re both doing well.
After the Dropbox update for MacOS, the syncing icons you’re seeing are a bit different indeed. If you haven’t done so already, can you please take a look at this Help Center article and let me know if you have any questions afterwards?
I might add that both me & TH1965 know what the icons mean, we're not confused there. We just have both of them at the same time which I imagine shouldn't be possible? Something can't be 'available offline' & 'online-only' - one of them is lying. We have both made sure these files are supposed to be available offline, however on opening it re-downloads it... so... to conclude:
- Files we make available offline aren't actually being made available offline, it's giving it a green tick, but they're in fact staying 'online only' in reality until we try & open them.
