I put all files available offline, but Dropbox doesn't download them.
Hi! I recently bought a new Macbook and wanted to sync my files to my new computer. Unfortunately, I am unable to download all the files. They are mostly kept in the cloud. I changed the preferences ...

Hey there, Rocky B.2, I hope you're doing well!
Just to make sure we're on the same page here, are these the steps you followed in order to make your files available offline?
Would you mind clarifying the OS you're using, along with the Dropbox version that you have installed on the device?
If you could also check your syncing status, that'd be amazing.
Keep me posted!

Hi Megan,
Dropbox->Preferences->Available Offline checked
Sync status: Your files are up to date.

What should I do? It's been several days, and the folders have not been downloaded.

Hey Rocky B.2, sorry for jumping in. Are you seeing both these icons next to all of your files or next to your folders?
What if you right-click directly on your Dropbox folder and choose to make it available offline? Are your files downloaded locally then?

Yes, I see it with all the files. If I right-click on them and make them available offline, it sometimes does sometimes doesn't, freezing (photo below). In any case, the app should do it automatically as I've enabled it to make all my files available offline. Could you please offer solutions? I pay for Dropbox and have not been able to do my work for several days now.
