The duplicated folder becomes "online-only" after copying it.

I have an offline folder, which I copy to duplicate. Suddenly, dropbox marks some of the files in the new folder "online only" even though I have the new files sync option set as "available offline".

 

Original folder:

Duplicated folder:

Setting:

This is detrimental to my development flow, as I need to have all files offline at all times.

I am sick and tired of having some files becoming "online only" without my knowledge.

Hey there, @Arkadiy K., let's jump right into this! 

 

Based on your screenshots, it seems that the files you're referring to are waiting to be synced. At least this is what the icon is about. You can see more about this here

 

Essentially, it's in the "queue" waiting for the changes to be synced. 

 

Do you notice the same dotted, cloud icon even when your app's syncing status is up-to-date? 

 

Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
