Displaying all non-synced folders along with synced folders
I would like to view all my desktop folders, even those that are not synced in dropbox. I know this is possible, because my previous Mac allowed this, and the "online only" folders were indicated as ...
Hi there ScottAMRaleigh, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Online only folders should not be confused with selectively un-synced folders. Could you check the app's preferences under the sync tab and let me know if you can find the folders in the selective sync settings?
Thanks!

Dropbox StaffDo you see the folders you're not seeing in Finder under your selective sync settings perhaps ScottAMRaleigh?
Shortly after I typed that last message, all the folders appeared in Finder. It just took about 10 minutes or so. Everything is fine, thanks for your help!
I might suggest that in the directions for new installs, Dropbox instructs users to first select ALL the folders "online only," then selectively sync. Especially, if the user wants to see all their available folders, even those online only. I'm assuming most users would prefer that way upon startup.
I appreciate you, thank you.

I'm glad to hear it's sorted now and thanks for keeping me in the loop too, Scott.
I've also jotted down your feedback - I appreciate you took the time to provide us with your thoughts on new installs of the desktop app.
If anything else comes up, you know where to find u!
