Dropbox tells me to right click on folder and choose Smart Sync but I don't have this option
Smart Sync is broken for me, but the hint that Dropbox gives me to right-click on a folder and choose "Smart Sync" makes no sense:
I don't have this option when I right-click in Wind...
Hi ned666, happy Monday!
Let's see what we can find on this together!
Have you tried re-starting your device? I'd also try re-installing the app real quick, to see if this changes things.
Keep me posted on the results.
I am on a paid plan (2 TB).
This is really strange, I don't have this issue on my second PC. I'm logged in as same account, Dropbox version is the same (v149.4.4568) and yet I see only half of the options in Preferences > Sync tab that I see on the other PC.

Hi, yes, reinstalling helped regarding SmartSync, but now I'm struggling with other problem.
1. Dropbox is stuck at "Dowloading 3 files" since Monday
2. I cannot figure out which 3 files, because the syncing icon overlays are not visible anymore in Windows Explorer
Will try to figure it out myself first, if it doesn't help I will open a new thread.Hi , not sure if anyone can help me or how to contact anyone. Sadly I use Dropbox. I actually hate it however all my files and folders dating back years are in it. I didn't know that files were still on my Mac and now have run out of disk space. I have read some of the online advice and it says I need to make some files online only. This is fine however to do this I need to access preferences and do some hovering? I have no dropbox icon in the tool bar ( also cannot for the life of me figure out how to get this back) . Then I understand I can make some files online only? How can I do this if I cant access the preferences??? Makes no sense at all to me at all. I can only access dropbox via finder and obvs dont have a right click( ?) as its a Mac? Is there anyway I can speak to someone or get any advice on this before I throw my laptop out of the window?

ihatedreaming if you have no icon on the status bar Dropbox isnt running.
Simply start it from within the Applications folder and you will find it and also get the rightclick menus
WOW thanks Ill try what you suggest...
