Hey mrpimms69, sorry to hear about that! 

 

It sounds like your content began syncing as online-only and you wish to change them in order to be available offline. 

 

Have you tried selecting the files/folders you wish to make available offline, and then right-click on them in order to make the change? You should be able to see the option there.
