This will help me to assist further!
Hi Jay,
I am currently having to select the whole Dropbox folder and choose "Make available offline" every day because it seems that every file that gets added by a team member is defaulting to being online only.
There's no issue with them appearing on the Dropbox website. There never has been. I just need every file that is added to Dropbox to be downloaded and stored on my PC

Do you have any options in the Dropbox desktop application preferences for the files to be available offline?
This is the only option I have, and it is set to "Available offline" for new files. It's quite strange though, as if I create a new file it is indeed available offline. When some other team members create new files they are only available online, and with some members I get them as being available offline.
I am looking at it more this end to see if I can find out why this is the case.
