Duplicating files locks the file name (Mac Desktop App)
Since updating to Ventura 13.4.1 whenever I duplicate a file, I'm unable to change the name of the file. I can open it and make edits, and I can edit the original file's name, but not the duplicate. ...
Problem went away after I changed which folders were selectively synced (unrelated to the folders I was working in).

I've been having exactly the same problem and, to be honest, i don't understand the proposed solution. My whole dropbox folder is marked to be available offline, although some subfolders have the green ticks next to each name whereas others don't. Also, when I control-click on a file or folder it still gives me the option to "make available offline" even though it should already be like that since that's the setting for the entire dropbox folder. Very confusing.

Hi stefanoluz, welcome to our Community!
From what I understand, it sounds like duplicate files within your Dropbox folder can't be renamed, am I on the right track?
If not, feel free to clarify. Also, can you let me know the app's current syncing status, along with the version you're using on your end?
As for the available offline situation, and your syncing icons, could you send me a few screenshots, in order for me to also have a visual too?
Keep me posted!
