Set all folders to "make available offline" on macOS
In the new macOS FileProvider API version of Dropbox, is it possible to recursively set all folders to "make available offline"? If so, does this setting persist for newly added sub-folders? I've r...

Yes, marking a folder as available offline will make all subfolders available offline as well, in perpetuity.

I am writing this message so Dropbox should improve update for Mac users. It was a disaster when I upgraded--I lost 30% of my video files, presentations, etc. and that is what i noticed. May be i lost some more files. Also, my presentations were gone and I donot understand why some were gone and some were not. They were not in deleted folders just disappeared. All shared folders disappeared. This was a disaster. I was lucky that i did time machine a month ago so i had to take another Mac, do time machine and then compare the files. so i restored some and went to old version. Very bad for dropbox since they put storage in cloud i belive now. I hope they will go back to normal and before that I am not upgrading. I hope Dropbox can comment on the disaster which happened to me and I am surprised that noone writes that. I lost 30%video files, presentation and probably the files which i donot know since i had 220GB on my dropbox. Hope to hear the comments
