Files Not Downloading With Double Click
Hi there. I am looking at a dropbox guide. It says 'To access a file that is stored with Smart Sync, team members can just double-click it and Dropbox quickly downloads and opens it on their computer...
I have the same issue. I have two dropbox (one personal and one business through work) that I have installed on two computers (iMac at work, and MacBook at home). Double-clicking to download smart sync files works on my laptop, but not on my work computer. I also get an error message saying that I do not have permission to open the file. Both computers have Big Sur 11.6.
I'm having the same problem. I'm on a MacBook Pro with Monterey. ANY file that's not stored locally I have to right click on and make local in order to open it. Even if it's small and the connection is great.
I also am having the same issue! When I double click a file that's in the cloud the Finder says "The file couldn't be opened." I'm on Monterey 12.0.1 on an M1.
