Drop Box is not saving InDesign files!
My InDesign files download as a weird text file. ALL OF THEM. Has Drop Box lost all my InDesign files?? I tried going to earlier versions but they don't exisit. Here's what I get instead of my files:...
Luckily, the solution to my problem was very easy. When Drop Box downloads the InDesign file it adds a .TXT to the file name. Don't know why. All I had to do was delete the ".txt" on the file name and it became a perfect InDesign file. Thank you to the pepole who replied!!
Same problem - I was trying to work on a file at home that had been saved at the office. I cannot synch my whole 'work in progress' folder to my home machine as it is too small, so I selective synch.
My work around was to move the sub-folder into the main dropbox folder and then selectively synch that.
Took 30 mins but files were fine

that is nuts!!! thanks for sharing it - I just tried and it works!!
I still have the same problem as you in that if I ty to download a single file I get a text file - just like yours - the problem with the offered solution is that all my indesign files are in the same folder which is huge and I couldnt download the whole thing as my HD at home is too small. So What I did was make a smaller folder and moved the indesign files I needed into that then moved that to the main window and synched. I will try downloading that folder as advised tonight and see if that works too. The only issue there is that I end up with a lot of duplicate files on different machines which is the reason i started using dropbox in the first place - ie to avoid duplicates.
The only way I can get it to work efficiently is to synch all my current files - catch 22
