On the latest Mac OS and Dropbox updates, online-only is the default option for all files. This is problematic and there's no way to change it. Why would you take away control of this feature - no user wants less control.
I have folders set up with multiple teammates adding to the folders, editing files, etc. If my folders are not automatically downloading and sync'ing their new work as local files in the background, if I try to work while on an airplane or at a diner in the middle of nowhere, with no wifi, I'd no longer be able to make progress on collaborative work while unable to download the full file from the cloud to replace the online only version.
Why on earth would you force me to live in a cloud-only environment, when there is no universe where wifi is available at all times? But clearly remote work is the new normal, people travel with laptops and end up in poor connectivity. I'm absolutely furious about this and it's only a matter of time before this completely ruins a workflow for me and destroys a project timeline.
In everyday work, it's simply annoying that there's a delay for the file to download every single time I open a collaborator's work to review or add to it. Working from a weak wifi connection, this would be prohibitive as I open large Photoshop files, for instance. I need to keep all my working files local while they're active projects, and then switch them to online-only when they are closed. PLEASE stop breaking a good thing, dropbox. It just. Keeps. Happening. I'm trying to run a business, our dropbox workflow is at the core of that, and every week something breaks and I lose time to working around yet another feature change that seems to prioritize some corporate goal over the needs of dedicated everyday users.
