Logic Pro X projects stored in Dropbox don't show up in "Recent"
Hi all, this is a niche issue and probably not Dropbox's "fault", but thought I'd ask here just in case.
Since I upgraded to the latest version of Dropbox for Mac (which moved the folder locati...
Hallelujah! It's fixed in Logic 10.8!

Dropbox StaffHi all, happy Friday!
The latest iterations of MacOS include some significant changes for services like Dropbox when it comes to how our application is allowed to operate on your Mac.
This article goes into more details about these changes and what it means for Dropbox users with MacOS.
As mentioned in that article, certain package files, like those associated with the Photos, Logic Pro, and Final Cut Pro apps are no longer allowed to be stored in locations that sync over cloud-storage services, Dropbox included.
We would love to be able to provide support for syncing these types of files through Dropbox, but in this case these limitations are out of our control directly.
I hope this helps!
Hi Megan!
Thank you for your answer. Just to let you know, although it is not supposed to sync Logic Pro and others' packages, Dropbox does it! If Logic Pro doesn't remember the last project opened if it's located in a Dropbox folder is another thing – it is my case!
So the "no sync" condition is not as bad as it seems.
Thank you very much!
Perhaps I'm blind, but can someone quote me the part in the article where it says Dropbox doesn't support Logic project packages? Because it doesn't say that. I'm starting to think perhaps Megan is a bot
Broken record alert: "Projects" are not "libraries". Libraries indeed are mentioned in the articleRight, Megan's answer isn't accurate. FCPX won't even let you save projects to cloud storage (see screenshot below), whereas as I mentioned in my original post, Logic projects can be saved to iCloud Drive and will show up in Recent if opened from there.
I still think it's more of a general issue with Apple's cloud storage protocols than with Dropbox in particular, because again, projects stored in Google Drive for Desktop have the same issue of not showing up in Recent. But the issue is not, as far as I can tell, that Logic projects can't be stored in the cloud.
- Correct. Another reason I think that Megan's answer is not correct is because - Advanced mega hyper Dropbox support specialist told me so via email :). They said the reason why my projects are not syncing to THE OTHER MACHINE (crucial bit of info) is because my two machines are using different APIs (if someone - including Megan - wants to know why, I can explain).
Point is, Logic projects are being synced to Dropbox, but are not syncing to my other PC.
I was told "they are fixing it".
Megan, kindly, what are they fixing if it's not supposed to work?
Also, I appologise for the assertive tone, but you keep ignoring straightforward questions and keep giving confusing info, which in turn costs people time and effort.
"I'm not sure" or "I don't know yet" are perfectly valid answers. Thanks
