Selective sync folders (MacOS) and how to change the settings.

Hi! I just downloaded Dropbox on my new computer. I'm used to seeing an exact copy of all my Dropbox files but this time around it forced me to choose which folders I wanted to have downloaded on my computer. I chose one but I cannot figure out how to update my settings to show all folders. Ideally, I'd like to see all folders that are available in the cloud even if they're not all downloaded. Thanks!
