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.

Dropbox StaffHi jwhitley, thanks for messaging the Community.
By default, on the new version of the Dropbox desktop application for Mac OS, newly added files will be online-only.
You can mark folders as available offline when right clicking them for files within those folders to also be downloaded offline.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

This was an **bleep** move. You reversed my universal setting without asking, without notification. And now it's MY job to fix your mess.
I will be reconsidering continuing my subscription to Dropbox.
Same sentiment. I am furious with thousands of photos that i have to "move" so I can work with them. Dropbox was THE reason I didn't bother with anyone else's cloud - your system was seamless and flawless and I could go from device to device and know my files were accessible. I absolutely deplore what you've done and regret the money I've spent for the "professional" version.
