Smart Sync - missing context menu *i sorted it out*

In the Dropbox app (Finder), right-clicking on folder to take 'online-only' should display the 'Smart Sync' option ... it does not.   What I have: MacOS 10.14.6 / Dropbox Plus What I have tried...

Hi Alan_E, let's jump right into this! 

 

The first thing we need to check, is your app's syncing status. Can you check and let me know more? 

 

A screenshot of what you see when you right click on a file or folder would also be of great help, so I can have visual too. 

 

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

        Just wanted to check in with you and see if you're still having this. Let me know more!

         

        Cheers!
