pdf files in dropbox folders will not open in MacOS Safari
I'm running Dropbox on MacOS Ventura. I tend to bookmark pdf files in Safari for quick access. I'm finding that pdf files in Dropbox folders will no longer open in Safari. However, if I move the pdf out of Dropbox, it opens fine.
This is a new issue. Has never been a problem before.
I cleared the Safari cache.
Thank you so much for the detailed information! I've taken a further look, and we believe you are hitting a known issue on macOS 13.4. Apple has confirmed that a fix for this behavior is in macOS 13.5 and I've personally confirmed this works on macOS 13.5 as well.
macOS 13.5 is currently in Beta and should release to the general population sometime in July (they haven't published an exact date yet). Please let us know if this continues to happen after updating to macOS 13.5 when that update becomes available. Unfortunately there is not a workaround that Dropbox can do on our side so we have to wait for the macOS update.
If I open in Chrome, no problem. Definitely a Safari/Dropbox issue.

Thanks for the update here, Glenn M.5.
You can try clearing Safari's cache to see if that helps as well.
I already have and reported earlier in this thread. Private browsing in safari does not work. There are no plugins or extensions in my safari app. Chrome works fine.
