Can't select an app to open just a single file

On MacOS, I want to set the application that opens an individual file, but not all files of that type. Outside my Dropbox folder, that works as usual, but inside it, when I go to "get info", and then...

Hi Michael L.68, wishing you a great Monday! 

 

Interesting behavior. Would you be able to attach a screenshot of the message you get, in order for me to have a visual too? 

 

Thanks a bunch!

    Hey Michael L.68! So, to clarify, this only started happening right after you installed the Dropbox for macOS on File Provider update, correct? 

     

    Have you followed the same steps for other types of files inside Dropbox, and the same thing happens? 

     

    What if you quit the Dropbox app? Does the issue persist then?
