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 location, etc.), Logic Pro X projects stored in Dropbox no longer show up in File > Open Recent or in the Recent tab of Logic's startup window.
The same thing was already happening with Google Drive for Desktop, so I would guess it's a general issue with the File Provider API. However, projects stored in iCloud Drive do show up in Recent.
Other Apple apps (TextEdit, Pages) will show files from Dropbox in the Open Recent menu. (And Dropbox-stored Logic projects do show up in Recent Items under the top-left Apple menu.)
Making the folders available offline doesn't help.
Running Logic 10.7.6 in Ventura 13.1 on an M1 MacBook Pro.
Any ideas?
Hallelujah! It's fixed in Logic 10.8!
Y'all,
After pulling what's left of my hair out here's the solution. When you save a Logic file it needs to be saved as a Folder, not a Package. Go to save as and you'll see the choices. Then replace your song/project on DropBox and your shared people will be able to fire up the Logic file.

Hi Neil J , and welcome to the Community! I’m Theresa, one of the Community managers here at Dropbox. It's great to see you’ve found a solution for storing your Logic Pro X projects. Just to let you know, we have a dedicated Musicians Group where Dropbox users like you, if you'd have any interest?
Nancy Jay Unfortunately this is not a solution at all. I have just purchased a new(secondhand MAC Book Pro M1), and it is running Sonoma..... I have one of the last Macbook Intels running Ventura...clean install of dropbox on my new laptop, I can see everything except Logic Project files created on Logic 11.
This means all my projects I have saved to drop box in the last 6 months are not able to be accessed directly out of the dropbox app on my new laptop.
Any suggestions as to a good alternative here.
