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...

Dropbox StaffCould you send us a screenshot of where you're spotting the discrepancy so that we can have a visual too vacmmc ?
Also, did you check the app's status in your system tray to see if it's still syncing or 'up to date'?
I thank you as it was resolved. I didn't know I had to wait a while.
But I am still lost as to how to make my few folders that are online only that I cannot see on my desktop. I have right clicked on them but there isn't a sync option or a make available off line option.

If they're online-only, you should be seeing them in your Dropbox folder's structure from where you'd be able to make them available offline by right clicking on them and choosing the relevant option vacmmc
On the other hand, if you're referring to folders that have been selectively un-synced, you'd need to change the sync settings through the selective sync option in the sync tab in the app's preferences.
- Ok, I will try to find that again, but when you say app you are referring to my desktop right?

Yes, I'm referring to the Dropbox desktop app vacmmc
You can access its preferences through the Dropbox icon in your system tray.
