You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Logic Pro X projects stored in Dropbox don't show up in "Recent"
Hi all, this is a niche issue and probably not Dropbox's "fault", but thought I'd ask here just in case.
Since I upgraded to the latest version of Dropbox for Mac (which moved the folder locati...
Hallelujah! It's fixed in Logic 10.8!
I have been told that due to Apples new rules, Dropbox must now make everything switch to online only and this is just the future we have to accept, but this is causing problems when working with large video files and audio projects. Re-downloading large video files all the time, and with Logic Pro I can no longer see my recents when I open projects from my dropbox. I keep everything important on dropbox so this is an issue for me.
I am having to check every time I open a project that files are not online only. For example, when a file file is created or added to an existing Logic project that I have switched to offline, it will make the new files online only and cause issues.
The attached screenshot shows what happens when I open a project with multiple files and that have switch to online only without asking me - or at least that is what I assume is the issue. Whenever this happens I just have to hard shutdown my Mac.
I decided to re-download Sync to compare and see if it has the same issue, and it does not. Sync does not make things online only unless you tell it to nor does it have to be saved in a particular place on my Mac.
So my question is, why does Dropbox have to do this but Sync doesn't?
And has anyone had any joy with getting this update to flow well with their work projects? Currently I am thinking about switching away.
Hi doppyjoe. I am using the dropbox app on mac and I have no problem with that (at least that I know). If I have certain logic files I am working with inside the same folder tree I just choose that tree to be offline too, so whenever I add any file it always is offline no matter if dropbox syncs it. I am working on Monterey, not Ventura, so I do not know if it applies, but in my case, I installed-reinstalled Dropbox. Other times I choose online only and then offline and it resets the thing.
