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.

Your Logic files are probably set up to default to 'Online-only'. Downloading them and putting them in the same folder will naturally create a conflict. Go into your Dropbox preferences and select Sync > Look for 'New files default'. Then select 'Available offline'. Hopefully this sorts the issue out.

Is there any update on the main issue of Logic Pro project files not showing up in 'Recent Items'? That's how I found this thread.

Same issue here: Logic Pro files (I save them as folders) are syncing properly but don't show up in 'recent projects'.
...maybe its time to switch to Ableton... 😄

Logic compatibility has never been ideal with Dropbox (I've used Dropbox for years with Logic) but this is the final straw. I'm moving over to iCloud. It's not worth the hassle.

Dropbox support is RIDICULOUS. I've contacted them several times and they simply don't know why this is happening. Last update DESTROYED dropbox usage and workflow on Mac, introducing tons of stupid bugs like this one.
