Hey wolfdrop, I assume you're referring to the new Dropbox for macOS update, right?

 

This is actually expected behavior with newly added files, but also, if the app detects that you're running low on hard drive space, it will also automatically switch your files to online-only.

 

You can see more info about this and other expected changes here.

 

If you want your entire Dropbox folder to be available offline, though, you can navigate to the Dropbox folder in ~/Library/CloudStorage, right-click, and choose "Make available offline".
