Hey Megan, thanks for looking into this. I directly opened an HTML file from my Dropbox in my browser and it works. However, I can't access the same file through 'localhost'. In MAMP, you can set a default directory, so I've tried updating that to point to other folders with no success.
Looking again at my environment: Dropbox files (PHP) > MAMP > Safari browser. Perhaps there is something to going on with Dropbox + MAMP settings.

That no longer works, so I've been trying other options, but nothing seems to work. E.g.
/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/\n\n/Users/maxymouse/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/
No matter what I do, trying to visit web pages in the browser gives \"403 Forbidden: You don't have permission to access this resource.\"
Am I getting the file path wrong, or are there some permissions I need to set, or is it just impossible to keep these files in Dropbox any more?
Thanks for any help. (Using Mac Ventura 13.3.1)
Ah, looks like the same question was asked a few days ago: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Apps-and-Installations/Permissions-error-after-Mac-migration-localhost/td-p/678073
Looks like I'm out of luck.
hey maxymouse, try changing the port setting in the MAMP preferences. I changed mine from 80 to 8080 and it's working?? Speculation: port 80 is being used by something else. Can you try this and see if it works on your end?
