You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

"How do you want to store new files" is set to "Online-only" but it isn't working.
I am using Bandicam to record videos and saving them to my Dropbox drive. I have set the option "How do you want to store new files" to "Online-only", but the videos are not being automatically moved to online-only storage as expected. I would like to find a solution for this issue as I do not want to manually move them to online-only storage.

That's not how that feature works. When set to Online-only, files that sync down to that device from your account online (i.e. added to Dropbox on another device or directly on the website) will sync to that computer as Online-only. It does not affect files that you add to the Dropbox folder on that device yourself. Those you'll need to manually set to Online-only.
