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...

Hello again,

Under preferences I do not have a sync tab.

I have this option checked: Dropbox system extension Allows Dropbox to store files as online-only to save hard drive space.
