Files not opening/ being recognized in Photoshop 2022

I use Adobe Photoshop 2022 often and suddenly it is not recognizing any of my dropbox files. I keep everything in dropbox and am not able to use them in photoshop. Does anyone know how to fix this issue???

This is happening with files of all types, abr, png, jpeg   

any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Are they SmartSync'd ?

     

    If so you need to download them locally first and then open them.

      I don't know if they are smart synced??   How can I figure this out. It really would be a pain to open the files first then open in photoshop. I hope I don't have to add another step. I do digital scrapbooking and this would really slow me down 😞

        Hi jcapabianco, thanks for posting.

         

        Are you on a paid Dropbox plan? When you right click a file, do you have an option to make it available offline by going to Smart Sync, Local?

         

        This will help me to assist further!
