Files Available Offline don't always show up without an internet connection.
None of the claims about this are true. I make ALL my files available offline. They are NOT available without some connectivity. I always take screenshots to be sure I have what I need when i need it. Yes, I understand how to do it. Sometimes they are available, but not always. And since you never know, take a screenshot to protect yourself.

Hi CB51, welcome to our Community!
Would you mind sharing some additional info about this, such as your OS, and the Dropbox version you're using there?
When did this start happening, and do you notice the same behavior across all file types?
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

Walterthank you for your quick reply. I made my file available offline yesterday evening on both my iPhone end iPad. The files are there as I worked on them before on my windows workstation. This morning on the bus I’ve opened Dropbox on my iPad (and then iPhone) and I cannot access to them (no internet connection message).

Anyway, yes if a log in from the web I can see my files there.
