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!

Hi misterjackpots, thanks for posting here!
Have you perhaps tried to re-connect Dropbox with Logic Pro X? Since the local Dropbox folder was moved after the Mac update, this step may fix the issue.
Let me know if this helps.
Hi Nancy, I don't recall ever having to connect Logic to Dropbox before; I just open project files from Dropbox as I would from any other folder. What does re-connecting mean in this case?
Thanks!

Hi misterjackpots, most likely it could be related to the recent changes to the Mac OS version of the Dropbox desktop application.
As it appears to be related to Logic Pro itself not detecting the recent file, it might be worth contacting them for support on this matter.
