This problem has not been resolved. I have to manually resync to files in dropbox anytime I open an older file in InDesign or Illustrator. So frustrating and time consuming!

This is driving me crazy too. In inDesign, I can't open 'recent files', or double click on them from the finder. It's taking way longer to get my work done. I can click on 'make available offline', but if there are any links that are also offline, I have to go and find them before the file will open. It acts like it is going to open but then doesn't. Sometimes the update links window comes up, sometimes not. I'm continually restarting the program and restarting the machine trying to make it work. Today it won't even open using file > open. What are we meant to do?
