Dropbox/Mac: "Filename" Can't Be Found
I can't seem to see anyone else with this issue, but I've had it for a short while now & it's really annoying:
Problem: Most times when I double click to open a file I am presented with the fol...
Whenever I add files currently they have this tick...
A lot of the time when I attempt to open these files (Most of which I know for a fact are local to the machine, as I had just moved them there an hour earlier from my downloads folder) I get the error.
Even after I dismiss that error & open the file a second time & it successfully opens, the tick remains the white version with a green tick, yet it opens fine.
The tick doesn't change after opening but from then on onwards, it is still white background green tick.
As per your suggestion, any interaction with these files seems to 'relink it' (that's my take on it at least). So right clicking & making it available offline does this interaction & changes the icons to:
The issue is though, whilst this action does change to make them fine in terms of interaction. It's the fact that an hour ago I add files from my download folder, & it's 50/50 whether I can open them again without that error. They will ALWAYS have the white background with the green tick unless intentionally right clicked.
For example, I literally just moved this file from my downloads folder this second, so I know its local, however it immediately shows as white background green tick. Is that right?
I can make peace with it tbh, if this version is about to be demolished then it is what it is.
