Re: Sync icons Macos

How can I change a file that's available offline to being available on macOS?

I'm using Macos and Dropbox (196.4.6900). Most files doesnt have an icon. I have read about what that means here: https://help.dropbox.com/sync/macos-sync-icons. What I'm wonder is if a file has the green icon (Available offline) is it possible to change it to no icon (Available)?

Unfortunately the icons are not customisable I'm afraid

I don't mean change the graphics for the icon, but the file state.

@abc9, it’s not possible to make a file available from the options provided in the context menu (when right clicking on your files). 

 

In this case, you’d need to make your files online-only first and then, to make them available, you either need to double-click on them or open them through a third-party app instead.
