Unwanted Automatic Offloading of Files in Latest Dropbox Version
I use Dropbox Business to store my video projects, which are often composed of a huge number of files. I'm having trouble understanding why the latest version of Dropbox automatically offloads my files when my computer is low on storage, even though I didn't initiate this action.
What's even more frustrating is that whenever I set my files to be available offline, they never seem to download. As a result, I'm always left waiting for hours, which could delay my projects. I find it extremely annoying that there's no option within Dropbox to disable this automatic file offloading without my consent.
I hope the development team can address this issue in a future update.
