I saved some folders to online-only but now I can't see them on my computer

Hello, I somehow saved some folders to online only... but I cannot see them on my desktop app.  When I click on them in dropbox online it doesn't give me the option to put them back on my desktop...

thank you so much.

I have moved a folder to online only by right clicking on it and selecting online only in the dropbox options. My drive is completely red on my computer which is why I moved the folder to online only. It is all music. After doing this my drive space did not change at all. Grrrr.... I wish I was more savvy but can you me with this as well?

Did you give the Dropbox desktop app enough time to sync your changes vacmmc?

 

Is it 'up to date' in your system tray/menu bar or still syncing?

    Thank you so much... I just checked it and now there is ample space. 
    I love smart people.
