Hello all together
I have the same problem in InDesign with files that are only online and despair almost every day when I have to edit InDesign jobs where I have to locate the files in the Finder first and download them every time.
Now I have discovered a workaround:

- Select all entries in "Links"
- Right-click on the menu item "Edit With" > "Preview 11.0".
- After all files have been opened in Preview, quit Preview.

Because of this issue, my team is now testing a different cloud service. Hopefully, the new one works!
Our team is also experiencing this frustration and it's a time sink. When it first happened, we were willing to wait on a solution but it seems we will have to look for an ALTERNATIVE to Dropbox. If you find a good alt to Dropbox, please post here.
What are the alternatives? This issue is killing our productivity and since we're almost 2 years after the issue started and no solutions, we have got to figure an alternative. Any advice would be great!
